It's a balancing act of more acceleration time vs. more time at max speed. In some cases going to a larger wheel, with no other changes, will indeed cause a higher time.

It appears to be simulating each side as if the 1 side powered the entire robot going forward, and only 1 CIM is ever used on the 3 tabs. It this intentional? Other than that it looks pretty good.

Though I would caution -- if you replay your matches this year, even on an 'open field' like this year, how far did your robot ever sprint in a straight line? Might be best to optimize it for a distance based upon your strategy (20-40ft for us)
