Experience With 6 Cim Drive train

[Thad House]

We were geared for about 10 fps with 3 CIMs throughout competition season. It was great up until we were facing alliances with high speed bots, and could not get passed them. So the sweet spot is a good sweet spot, until you are facing teams which are faster and can get in front of you faster then you can move. That is why we geared up to 15 fps for IRI, which was probably too fast for a single speed bot, but the increased speed really was needed to be competitive at a high level of play. In other years, that 10-12 sweet spot would be great, but this year with the wide open field it just was not fast enough.
