I'll have to get back to you on that. All I know so far is that it is ~62 inches long, using a window motor and the gear ratio is pretty big. Yea, no so informative. I been programming the whole time so I have no idea  Now I don't trust WPI's PID loop (sorry guys) so I'll be writing my own from scratch
