Interesting idea with the turret. Out of curiosity, what kind of turning speed do you have on it, and what angles can it reach? Is it a fully rotational 360, or do you have a limit on it? Also, how high do you have the turret mounted? While it doesn't matter quite as much with the trailer, I would think having rotating fans set up high would create a tipping hazard. And that's an interesting idea about using a compressor to puff air in front of the wheels. Has that been tried by anyone? I'm curious about what gains you would see from that. |

The trailer and the rectangle wheel base makes it difficult to envision a significant tipping danger. I have not seen the compressor puffing tried, but I saw one team with paint brushes to clean wheels and another team that won an award at the Connecticut Regional for an innovative way of keeping their wheels clean (I did not see or hear about their actual configuration). Those teams got me thinking: why not clean the wheels and the path at the same time for even better results. Keeping the dust off wheels definitely helps with traction especially after the crater has been used a few times. Cleaning wheels between matches certainly helps. We aren't going to nationals but its hard to ween myself off this challenge.:o |
