Re: Drivetrain Reference Tables - 2008

The CoF that IFI provides are

Roughtop: 1.3 and 0.01025 pounds / Sq Inch

AndyMark (http://www.andymark.biz)provides detail for his product on it's individual pages
The kit wheels provided by them are
Tangental skidding resistance: 0.65
Resistance from a sideways push: 0.9

As far as laying out auton goes... I am assuming that you are running open loop, so you may want to check out JVN's earlier tools http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1676
Specifically the gearbox modeling sheet. The Position versus Time plot should get you pretty close for straight line driving.

Since you don't have carpet to test on are you sure you can turn???

-----------------
I wish I had a dollar for every time I recommended that spreadsheet... Great piece of work John.
