Re: Top speed?

This is somewhat related to the topspeed discussion so I figure I'll ask it here. When determining the "top speed" of a robot in relation to it's gearing, wheels, motors, ect. what point on the motor curve are you taking the RPM numbers from? My team is a second year team with little or no help from any Mech E's and we are looking to do a bit more in terms of drivetrain design than we did last year.

So when someone says they have a 15fps or 16fps robot what RPM is that on the motor (assuming 2.5" CIM)?
