Intake Conveyor Ideal Speed

IMO the main idea behind FIRST is for the mentors and students to work together to produce a machine that the students could never have produced on their own. - Tim Sharp [more]

Re: Intake Conveyor Ideal Speed

So just to be clear...
We are planning on using 1" diameter rollers with belts on them, and a 10fps drivetrain. We therefore are shooting for 15fps linear speed on the belts, which would mean a roller speed of ~3400 RPM. Does this seem right/plausible/safe?

*We are using 2" wide urethane orange belts with 3D printed crowned pulleys on the drive axle.
