I made the polls wrong so the first one isn’t supposed to be an option its supposed to be the title :frowning: poll poll poll Thought this would be fun to talk about thanks

I feel like I should explain what I am doing: x-drive either 4 or 3.25 wheels. I said 4 because the speed from then drive is comparable to 3.25 wheels at 360 which is very nice. Because its an x drive that means 4 motors, but I do think at some point in the season I would like to make an asterisk …

I think rpm isn’t the best question if you are asking about drive trains, because x drives will have faster speeds for lower rpms, and small wheel sizes will reduce speeds. I think a fps/ips poll, a motor count poll, and a holonomic capability poll would be most fitting.

I did rpms and wheel size because people use higher rpms on small wheels to co.pensate e t. Also X drives do t have as much rorque so I concept they are faster but in reality they are not as fast

Rpms and wheel size directly correlate, resulting in speed. I like your polls, but there is no way to tell how fast people will actually be driving. The 601+ rpm people might be using 2 inch mecanums, and the 100-200 rpm people might be using 4" mecanums in an X drive, or even 5" wheels. The outp…

lol a 6m asterisk drive at the moment

4" omnis are actually 4.125", btw

Don’t you have to multiply the diameter of the wheels by pi for circumference?

Wow you are so right I messed up big time there. It should be exactly the same without it since every wheel would be multiplied by π so that doesn’t matter. I just can’t call it inches per minute anymore. I’ll change it to diameter by velocity or something. Dbv

Revised version of the poll for terminology issues: Let’s do this proportionally in a simple way that everyone can do easily: velocity by diameter (vbd). Multiply the rpm of your drive by the size of your wheel. For example 280rpm × 4in wheels = 1120vbd If you’re using an x - drive all you have …
