Sorry, my calculus is nonexistent, I never had physics and I am just trying to help some kids build a robot. Now, if you are willing to help, great.

If you're geared "reasonably" and your drivetrain doesn't have some ridiculous friction load (or is a Mecanum), the CIMs will run at about 81% of their free speed when at top speed.
Reasonably geared is defined for a drive 4 motors to be "less than 13 fps @ free speed."
