Go to Post Teams should make it a practice to protect their Victors (all the electronics, really) from the mechanical folks, with their saws and files and stone axes... - DonRotolo [more]

This is because "loaded" gear ratios were calculated over distance of 50ft, the longest a robot would typically have to accelerate in FRC. When geared extremely fast, the 6" wheel draws so much current it cant get up to speed in that distance, so we capped the speeds at 21.5 FPS.

On the speed charts on the WCP site there are some notes about this, and we hope to have a speed calculator up on our website shortly to help teams understand these speeds better.
