Ultimate FRC Motor Reference Sheet

I am compiling a reference sheet for practically all motors, the common gearboxes, and relevant equations used in FRC competition. I found a couple reference sheets like this on CD and other places around the community but they didn't quite the level of detail or ease of use that I was hoping for. I made this to lower the barrier of entry for understanding the relationship between motors and the force and speed they impart.

I hope this can help bridge the gap between knowing "It will take X amount of force to shoot a ball" and "This motor has Y amount of torque" in that it lays out exactly which equations you can apply to the motor statistics to determine which motor and gearbox will work for a given task. And it should save some time being able to refer to a big poster on the wall rather than hunting around online.

Now here is where I need your help. I want to make sure the sheet is accurate and not missing any critical motors, gearboxes, or functions. Please feel free to tear it apart; do the gearboxes match the correct motors, are my equations incorrect or missing corner cases, is it readable? Whatever input you have I am glad to take. You will notice I am still missing a couple of values. Also, is there anything else I should add? I am thinking there are a couple more useful equations that I could squeeze in.

If you happen to like this, feel free to use it for yourselves or your teams. I would love for this to be a collaborative effort.
