Re: [FTC]: DC Motor Speed
What do you mean by Speed?

Mechanically you could speed up whatever mechanism by placing a larger sprocket/gear on the motor output and then placing a smaller spocket/gear on the mechanism.

Programming: I'm pretty sure you just put it to max power and that is the max speed.

The Motor only spins @ 154 RPM's, so its not extremely fast.
