Sounds good! IMO, pretty much anything over 10fps is overkill this year. Will you still be able to drive over the scoring platform if needed?

I think we have an adjusted speed of something like 7fps on our 6" mecanums... I don't think we've actually measured it yet, but it seems about perfect for our strategy (so far!).
