hmmm so according to AndyB, the reduced free RPM's or a 2.5'' CIM motor would be 442 rpm...so how much more reduction would a sprocket provide?

That depends on which sprockets you use, but 2:1 reduction is typical.

Something like this inexpensive digital tach might be useful for measuring and calculating a robot's actual top speed:
