Re: Bouncing TrackBalls
So about 4 feet... .6 times as high each bouce... after about 4-5 bounces it might be able to grab IF it doesnt bounce out of the arena... given the only open areas are where the robots are dragged in...

Im to tired to do the math oh how long it would take for it to hit the wall and start bouncing back...parabolas and such...

This might actually give an advantage to robots that are trying to grab and carry them... robots pushing them will have to try and follow it around as it bounces off of walls and robots and such. I dont know that was probably obvious beforehand im just tired... Man only like 2 days in and im already behind on sleep...
