Transmission ratio choices
My team was looking at the andymark site, and we were wondering about which gear ratios were the best for the 2-speed transmissions they offered. The choices were:

24:1 and 9.4:1
30.1:1 and 11.8:1
24:1 and 6:1
30.1:1 and 7.5:1

Now, we figure we have enough torque in any case, but we were wondering about the ratio we should have for our high gear to get a good speed. Any ideas?
