Re: Bushing v. Bearing

Thanks everybody for your help, our robot will be grateful.

But while we're on the subject of friction, we ran some numbers on our previous year's robot, and we've found that our wheels are running about 70% of the free speed RPM that they should. We used the 90 degree box that came in the kit, and I was wondering if this was just our robot's problem or if it was a global problem. Thanks.
