and ooooh. a blue truck. $@#$@#$@#$@#. if i had a blue truck id be SO much faster 
what'd he stick in there? 350 like everyone else? |
What I meant was that you aren't connected to the drivetrain, so you can't correct for wheelspin and such instantly.
If I see my friend, otherwise known as the "Jolly Redneck" (I won't reveal his real name), I'll ask him. But, I switched from Orange High School (where the robotics team and the jolly redneck are) to Riverside High, which are in two different counties. I still go to Orange for Robotics, but I'm not there that often. My guess is that he was told/read this and can't really explain it too well, since he, well, probably doesn't know much physics. I imagine this varies depending on the tires, engine, flywheel, car mass, and, clearly, if the car has traction control.
This has someone say 10%, so I guess opinions vary.
