Robot output torque

[Jeff Waegelin]

Chips at 9.8:1 main reduction, with a 2:1 low gear, 1:2 high gear, and a final 3:1 sprocket reduction. That gives us:

58.8:1 Low Gear
14.7:1 High Gear

We're using 6" custom machined wheels, giving final theoretical speeds of 9 ft/sec in high, and a little under 2 ft/sec in low. It's essentially our same drivetrain from last year, which was one of the fastest and most powerful drivetrains around. We weren't the absolute best, but we were up there in the speed and power categories.
