Re: Intake RPM

A general rule of thumb is to run the intake such that the speed at the tip of the roller intake is 2x your robot's max speed.

I don't want to speak for most teams, but the motor selection comes down to making sure that you don't stall your motor out when intaking a ball. Consider the worst-case scenario where the ball gets jammed.

These two considerations can help guide you in figuring out a motor/gearing combination that you are comfortable with. But, if in doubt, go with the new 775Pros.
