Re: does anyone know the friction Coefficient between the carpet and rubber?

The fastest "common" speed that I know about is 15-18 ft/sec. It's much more common to have a 10-12 ft/second robot, though.

If you're designing in km/h, you may want to look at your orders of magnitude. m/sec is much more applicable to a 54' long field.

3.3 ft = 1 m
