Intake Conveyor Ideal Speed

[JamesCH95]

I second the recommendation for AT LEAST 2x robot speed. The reason being that if the top of a ball is moving at 2x robot speed, the cewnter of the ball will move at 1x robot speed while the bottome of the ball touches the ground. Thus the FUEL will get get pulled into the robot significantly faster than the robot can drive.

The FUEL won't get knocked away and the robot won't jam the FUEL into its own intake with forward inertia. Perhaps most importantly in this year: if the robot interacts with a sea of game elements it won't push the bulk of FUEL away as it collects FUEL on the perimeter of that sea.

Strongly recommend the highest powered motor(s) you can stand for the application, even if you run it on an under-sized breaker (like a 775 pro on a 30A circuit). No one has ever said 'my intake can collect [game element] too quickly.' More to the point: the faster you can collect FUEL/GEARs/whatever the more time you have to score it, and there are fewer things more painful to a scout than watching a team spend time collecting game element.

My $0.02 anyway...
