I do think anything over 8 to 10 fps is too fast.

I formed this opinion after years of watching drivers do their thing. When machines went faster than about 10 fps, the drivers got very sloppy; they just weren't able to accomplish their tasks consistantly. Many times, they didn't use their top speed at all!

A slower top speed helps to keep your motors cool and gives you a bit more pushing force in addition to helping your drivers out.
