Re: realistic friction constants.
Ok let me clarify myself. I have two types of friction in my model:
frictional force = constant * -sign(velocity)
and
frictional force = velocity * constant

The second might be totally unnecessary. Now back to the point, what are some realistic friction constants for a FIRST robot drivetrain as a whole (rolling friction from the wheels, friction in the gearboxes etc). I also need data on the rotor inertia of the CIM motors.
