Ether is right, he has the math behind him. (In front of him?) That's what engineering is about. Think of an idea, do the math, if the math says build it, then build it, otherwise save your dollars.
Think of all the cool things in science / architecture / building / etc. All went up because the math worked. Things went up and fell down because the math didn't work. Even the Roman and early cathedrals worked because some math was done.
If Ether says it will fail and you build it and it fails, you owe a "Math wins again post"
And let me tell you as a mentor when you come up with the "WE WILL CRUSH THE OTHER TEAMS WITH THIS IDEA" and a rookie roboteers says "Well according to the math you fall over here." it's a great day, another idea dies without metal being involved. Nobody likes to see metal fail in the wild.
But I'm new here, feel free to experiment.
