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)?
It depends on the size of your wheel. If you go 16 fps with 8 inch wheels then your motors will be rotating twice as fast at 16 fps with 4 inch wheels
