robot speed

[Ed Sparks]

OK, I'll say it .......

IMHO, a top speed of 10-12 fps is a good place to start if your kicking around ideas about generic robot designs. A robot that can do this will be somewhere in the high middle of the pac as far as it's ability to beat a competitor from point A to point B on the playing field. Chances are that if there's any serious pushing to be done, you'll need to add a two speed gearbox to your design to get the torque back.
