Have you tested to see what percentage of your total robot traction the follower wheel represents? (like the GDC posted)

I am not saying that I think this will represent >5% of robot traction, I would be surprised if it did. I am only curious because my team has yet to test our Way-Better, Uber-Awesome follower wheel we build out of Joe's spare Vex parts
