Re: [FTC]: Drive Platform- Design Exercise

Time to review the concept of center of mass with the students. Both static and dynamic. Saturday we let the students go on design for different aspects of the game. Half way into the meeting, we gave them a power point presentation on COM that we give the FRC students. After a little playing on the mountain with this summers practice bot, the concept of COM really sunk in. We can "crash" the practice bot up the 30 degree slope. To drive up the 50 degree slope is challenging.
