I think with something of that weight could get away with a significantly higher top speed.

Recall that a 150lb robot with 6 cims could top out at ~18fps, and that only because they can only travel 50ft before stopping.

If you were running it down a street or something you could push a full FRC robot to 25+fps over a hundred feet.

An antweight in comparison with just 2 cims should have no problem reaching 30 fps in 15-20 feet or so.

Then again, if you are operating in more confined places like classrooms or such, you would gain a control advantage topping out slower.

Also be careful, CIMs produce a significant amount of noise in the FM band. We converted a kitbot to run on a FM system and had control problems when we got 30+ feet away. We decided to seriously isolate our antenna from the CIMs, by putting the antenna higher and also wrapping the motors in layers of aluminum foil in an attempt to Faraday cage them.
