Hello,

I am not a math wiz, so please excuse me if this really easy!
I am trying to figure out what combination of rpm and wheel
size will give me speed I require for a small robot I am building.
I am going to purchase some motors with built-in gearboxes and
there are a range of rpms available.  There must be an equation
that I can plug values into.  The robot will be about 10" square
and the wheels will be about 5-6" in diameter.

Thank you in advance!
