Speed?

[Ken Leung]

Here is how it was for the past years... With two drill motors:

1~2 ft/s second is really really slow, but TONS of pushing force.

3~5 ft/s is a general speed for a strong pushing robot.

6~9 ft/s is usually the middle where robots aren't the fastest and aren't the strongest in pushing.

10~12 ft/s is for high speed robots that speed across the field for balls...

13~18 is REALLY REALLY fast robot, so fast that it's hard to control... might risk some chance burning motors

>18 is insanely fast... two drill usually can't handle this fast without tripping circuit breakers, or burning out motors, with 130lbs of weight.

These are just estimates anyway. Good for rookie teams and beginner teams. Veteran teams with 4 motor drive train or more, you know how fast your robot should go.
