Re: Math RAMP Video Topics

What happens in a pushing match, and which robot will win? What math is involved with forming the profile of a tooth? How can we model the acceleration of an arm or elevator? What's the correct speed and power to run an intake at? What's the most efficient way to lighten (a gearbox, a gusset, a bellypan, a robot, take your pick)? How thin material you can "get away with" (in tubing, gussets, gearboxes, gears)? What's the best way to model inefficiencies due to friction and calculate frictional forces/losses in FRC (in gearboxes)?

Sorry for the huge list. I'll probably think of more stuff later tonight
