 Honestly though, having a cave would be one of the greatest places to build a robot. There's already lack of light and lots of floor space! Well, if you have a good cave sponsor, that is. - Bryce Clegg [more] |

Re: Ideal robot speed
I don't even know what our top speed is. Its generally not that important because we don't spend much time there. For the past two years we have run CIMple boxes with a 10 tooth output sprocket, and 32 tooth sprockets on 6" wheels. I think top speed is around 7 fps (at 4000 rpm CIM speed). I have never found myself wishing we could go faster. Most games are about getting in position to pick up or deposit the game piece. That is all about control. Getting from point A to point B usually involves getting around object C, pushing robot D, or going over obstacle E. None of those involve top speed, but all require torque/acceleration.

Re: Ideal robot speed
top speed isn't as important as "quickness of a robot" because in most cases a FIRST robot spends most of its time moving in short bursts, not long straights where it has distance to get up to speed. from observation a robot that is "quick" can get up to speed in about 1 to 1.5 "robot lengths"
