The speed values given here do not apply to the :meth:`.drive` method,
since you provide your own speed values as arguments in that method.

The robot will calculate the max turn rate for your robot based on the
``axle_track`` and ``wheel_diameter`` settings when you initialize the robot in
the :class:`DriveBase` constructor. If you try to set ``turn_rate`` to a value that
exceeds the calculated value the robot will raise a ``ValueError`` exception.
The max possible value for turn_rate is 1000 deg/s. A wider drivebase

It's not always a max of 1000 deg/s is it? Doesn't it depend on the axel_track, wheel_diameter and the actual max speed of the motor being used?

perhaps, changing to "The max possible value for turn_rate is 1000 deg/s but in reality it depends on the axelTrack and wheelDiameter settings."

or one with smaller wheels will have a lower top speed for the ``turn_rate``.

Arguments:
straight_speed (Number, mm/s): Straight-line speed of the robot.
straight_acceleration (Number, mm/s²): Straight-line
