Gearing for 20 FPS?

Something tells me that it may have been underwhelming. (Really fast in a straight line but hard as heck to handle making it painful to watch)

Considering how that swerve was driven (RC Car controller) if any robot was going to do 30FPS well it would've been 148... But with John saying that it would've been foolish, it makes me believe that 30FPS is just too fast to be successful on an FRC field.

I remember seeing a few 25fps-ish robots in 2008 and most of them seemed to be under driven or barely controllable.

(Though, at 30 FPS, they'd have been running laps in what? 5 seconds?)
