Also, can I have two?  |
Chris,
Hmm interesting question, I don't know if we ever got up to the full 16fps. I don't have anything quantitative but:
-We were quick
-The acceleration was amazing
-It was nice being able to get from one side of the field to the other rather quickly.
In a match we stayed in high gear the whole time except crossing the bump and pushing. Our driver absolutely loved having the high gear and we would not hesitate to gear this high again. Lol, sure Chris to go?
