I believe I have the Mecanums at around 13 fps and the (3.25") traction wheels at around 7 fps.

The module we competed with last season weighed 23 lbs for each side so 46 lbs total - very heavy. This one is 18 lbs for each side for 36 lbs total. We sure could have used that 10 lbs last year. For example, we only had 1 motor driving our shooting wheel because we just didn't have the weight allowance to add a second motor.

Also, last year's version would have been nearly impossible to maintain if anything had failed. This one is very easy to maintain. The Mecanum wheel can be removed by just removing the one screw. The gear boxes have just 4 screws and the clevis pin. The CIMS stay with the frame rail when you drop the gearbox.
