Also, is there any reason why you chose 7 fps as your ideal speed? Why not a bit faster?

7 fps is just an rough initial estimate. Through initial testing my team has discovered that with too fast a speed (we tested with 14 fps), a robot will either struggle over some of the obstacles (we specifically cheval de frise and ramparts) or will go flying. We are looking for a lower speed that will offer more control. However, we may decide that 7 is too slow and go up to 9 or so.
