As of right now it is fairly effective but we are still maximizing the effectiveness.
The model that you see in the picture there is a 36:16 reduction from the denso motors with 2.5" diameter Vex wheels. We found that while driving backwards at full speed we cannot hold the ball as well as we desire, so we have changed the ratio to 48:10, to give us about 400 rpm. This may change again before our regional (week 5) but after a bit of testing we will know for sure.
