Re: pic: 6WD Sheet Metal

A FIRST field is approximately 34 feet wide and 57 feet long.

I think Adam is right. Watch videos from 06, 07, 08, and 10 and figure what the average straight full speed driving distance is.

Likely you'll find that your average driving distance is only around 10-20 feet. With your gearing, you'll never come close to hitting top speed and you'll get pushed around easily.

We've found 10-13 FPS to be the sweet spot in FIRST. Even overdrive rarely exceeded what that could provide because of all the traffic jams, etc.
