paper: Cyber Blue 234 Drive System Test - Performance and Power

My favorite question of all time asked by "outsiders": How much does/did that thing cost? How can you put a price on the hard-work and dedication it took to build these machines? - KyleGilbert45 [more]

What are you using to get the theoretical top speed? I ran the numbers quickly and it seems right to me. Theoretical top speed is around 11.65 fps (CIM at 5300 RPM and 4in wheels) and recorded for the 4 CIM is 10.76 fps which is 92%.
