Intake RPM

NS3517,
I don't think you're asking the right question.

The RPM of any intake is not a good measurement, because the same RPM on different rollers provide for different performance.

The most important factor of the intake is the Linear Speed, as Adam described in the quoted post. The linear speed of an intake is independent of the roller diameter, and is a better way to measure intakes across other robots.

As for motors, the 775pro is bomb.

You're right my bad
