on behalf of michael
well Greg, michael and i design the robot to do much more but weight didn't allow, (i bet you've heard that alot).
we are also a roockie team so Ian W, Michael and I are happy enough that it is working and that thee is not one bit of plywood used on the whole robot!!!! not to downgrade the work we did though, because, i think that we should do fairly well in the ring. SO GOOD LUCK!!!! "good fight good night" (celebrity deathmatch) |

I was just currious, last year was my team's rookie year and we were glad to compete as well, its really great. |
LOL! That's a great video. I should try that with our robot... :D
Micheal, are you busy by any chance, I'd like to test something...:rolleyes: |

And Ian...you never sent me those pictures...I *do* need to submit the yearbook page...TOMORROW! But yes, our robot is a tank this year. Drive carefully, all. :) ~Christina |
I sent them to micheal, i thought that he would send them to you! Grr, i'll send them now, although i think micheal posted them already, not all of them on the chief delphi web site though.

you know something christina, i reallly am getting frustrated over hear! i never said that you weren't part of the team, i was just merely stating that the day that it did work it was only michael, Ian and i thast could express how greatful we were to have a working, (NON SPINTERED), robot! and anyway, i think that without you ms. champy could probably run the team to the ground, not mentioning staying in the roach motel for florida! |
Guy's this is no place to do laundry!!!

Oh, the bottom line on this subject;
Have enough friction, created by surface area and mass, to apply the available torque. |

Yes, you are right, increase the mass and you increase the force on your contact points, increasing friction. But now you need more torque to accelerate at the same rate!! The whole point is to create a system that transfers the available torque to the ground with minimal losses (i.e. excessive wheel spin). It’s a balance of torque, at a given mass, with the available friction created, to transfer the energy and create the desired acceleration.
