would it be better to gear up 200rpm or gear down 600 rpm?

ok so while my drive right now uses 600 rpm geared down. It is “better” for the motors to be the lower rpm geared up.
A 600 rpm drive will heat up because it will almost always at its maximum torque. It would be better for the motors in general to use geared up 200 rpm.
Now the real question does this discussion warrant a new thread?

If you gear down from 600 rpm, l, there will be less slop in the motors than if you geared up from 200 rpm. This is important when you are looking to make a super accurate autonomous.

Context: One guy gets his hand hit by a c-channel from the controller holder that our team made for holding controllers.

put EVERYTHING before vex
thats what our coach tells us. We live in UK so if we go to worlds then we will miss skl so we should prioritise evertyhgin as going to wrolds is a big sacrifice
“Our B team spent last 30 minutes of the build session trying to attach ‘DON’T GIVE UP!’ sign to their robot, but it kept falling off.”
“Did they succeed?”
“No, they just gave up.”
