anyways.....its still a prototype

If you're using a 6" wheel and your motor spins at ~90rpm like you said then the math says that it should go about 2fps... ((18.84" cicumference) x (1.5rev. per second))/12 = 2.3.... FPS.

But even if thats wrong 4-6fps is still really slow for an FRC field. It would take you 10 seconds or more to cross the field at that speed

Plus the factor of ridiculously slick wheels.

btw, I checked Dustin's math...and its correct.
