at low gear on the motors, we can move the robot around and drag things around with a speed of about 5ft/sec. we run the motors around and abuse them for 10 minutes without em overheating (just nice a warm that's ok to touch for a minute without burning urself).

at high gear, we attain ~12ft/sec? at full speed. this is my guestimate and although our gear ratio originally intended 15ft/sec...i doubt it's going that fast. in any case, it's a speed demon and kinda shocked us when we first went that fast. in any case, that was high gear. we tried dragging a few things and we still were able to drag things around (a table with casters with a 130lbs person sitting on it). the breakers did not trip, but the motors were painful to touch if u kept ur finger on it for more than 2 seconds....

we're still playing with ideas and testing the drive train.

good luck, i hope this info helps.
