Yeah. 9:1 will (probably, depending on the motor...) give you a higher top speed. Acceleration is a totally different ball game, and requires some really fun math that no one ever got around to teaching me. (to be totally honest, I'm not a math guy.... Hence the Sociology major)
I seem to recall from my lurking there being a spreadsheet floating around that calculates acceleration as well as top speed for FRC bots... Am I mistaken? Anyone know where this tool is?
Dang. There goes the hint that was supposed to go out next week. Gotta start over now.. - dlavery [more]
