Cases against:
10 ft per second is pretty slow (6.82 mph) for a ball to travel
Does not use stairway to heaven
It came from me
Anyways, the game should be mighty interesting (/me formulates for a drive system that works on stairs  ) |
6.82 mph huh??
Well, I went bowling tonight and the balls in the lane next to me were traveling from ~9.8 - 23.0 mph
So if it truely is 6.2 mph (10 Ft/sec) then it is slow I guess, but if the field is 30ft long, then it takes 3 seconds max to reach one side?? Wow!!
But, if this is not linear motion but rotational motion then the speed would be relevent to the radius of the wheel or whatever right?
Ok, so since I suck at math... Someone find out what circular speed a 3.5 inch caster would be with a 10 ft/sec linear motion applied!
