Re: Victor Burnouts

Colin,
There is no real effective way to do that. In 2003, the "ice" produced incredible sparks so we dragged a tail (the outer shield of a braided coax without insulation or center conductor) and that helped a little when the robot contacted the ramp. (made of copper plated steel) This method was determined to be legal by FIRST for that year only.
