I think you'll find that a robot geared for 14 fps on 4 cims will have plenty of power to accelerate quickly. Our comp bot did fine this year, and it was geared for about 18 fps. Our bunny bot was geared even faster that that, and it won. so obviously, it will depend on the game, but in my opinion, 14 fps isn't "too fast".
