Re: Minibot climb rate
We finished our last regional and did not implement our secret weapon:
(although we did tell the Boston Regional judges about it)
Rubber on rubber (1.2 CoF sliding friction) for the first 3 inches of vertical climb before switching to rubber to steel (0.3-0.6 CoF sliding friction).
We projected that would save us 0.2 to 0.3 seconds and still keep normal force low.
The rubber on rubber is minibot contact to a hostbot ramp that runs vertically parallel to the tower pole and then switches onto the pole before the minibot crosses the 18" line.
