Re: Hopefully this year's drive train will be better.

why don't you just use smaller wheels? for each revolution your bot travels the distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. so the smaller the wheel the slower you go.

10 in wheel spinning at 100 rpm = (pi*10)*100(1min/60sec)(1foot/12 inches)
=4.3 ft/sec


5 in wheel spinning at 100 rpm = (pi*5)*100(1min/60sec)(1foot/12 inches)
=2.18 ft/sec
