Go through the attachment to post#1 step-by-step and tell me at what step you disagree or are unconvinced, and I will explain the justification and make explicit any tacit assumptions.

Additionally, we have been using this model for several years to determine our robots' acceleration profile and time to distance at different spots of the field. The analysis has routinely been within 5% of actual robot performance.
