Re: Terminal Velocity of the Fuel Balls

Quote:
Terminal velocity is the highest velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example, but the concept applies equally to any fluid)

With that definition, and with G23:
Quote:
Shoot FUEL from your own LAUNCHPAD. A ROBOT may only LAUNCH FUEL while in their LAUNCHPAD (i.e. at least breaking the plane of the line with BUMPERS).
I don't see any teams actually approaching terminal velocity with their fuel. So, why do you want to figure out what it is? trying to shoot the ball through the ceiling of your venue?
