Re: Team Update #18
Does a standard scale, such as the ones used to inspect the robots at competition, give us the weight or mass of the robot? In other words, is the number we see equal to mass*[accel due to gravity] or equal to only mass?
Using a direct weight-equals-mass calculation, I get 0.586 feet stopping distance and 488N for stopping @ 1/4".
Dividing by the acceleration of gravity, I get a stopping distance of 0.060 feet (~3/4") and ~50N to stopping @ 1/4".
