Re: Gearing and Drive Motors
I doubt you will see many CIMple box robots this year. Even with 4" wheels, they are geared too fast (15+fps) for this game with ramps and obstacles and obstructions that give you few opportunities to drive more than 20 feet in a relatively straight line.
We're gearing our TB-minis all the way down to 12.75 on a 4" wheel, then farther down with chain to our 8" wheels. It's a top speed of only 5.6 fps, but we reach it practically instantly and eat most of the defenses for breakfast, and the others for lunch.

There's a stark difference between bragging and taking pride in your work. While "Ha ha! We're better than you! We won seventeen regionals and you didn't!" would clearly fall in the former, listing your achievements would definitely fall in the latter. - artdutra04 [more]
