It is important to remember that humans do need to control the robot and that they can be made to go too fast to control effectively.

However, it is not quite fair to say that AndyMark SuperShifters go to fast as you do have options in the final gear ratio by selecting different sprockets or even different size wheels. There are also software options to limit the top speed should you find your hardware outrunning your drivers.
