From my experience, you won't want to gear nearly that fast, even for high gear with a shiftable transmission. A 15 ft./second robot is very fast. If you are using two CIM's/side and are not shifting, you probably shouldn't go higher that 7-8 ft./sec. (IMHO) unless pushing is clearly not going to be a part of your game.
