Re: What r possible drive systems under these circumstances?

The only possible successful drive system with the rules worded as they are is a controlable drive system. The momentum of a 100lb robot at 10ft/s is too much to accurately turn in such a low friction environment. So for the strategy we've laid out, we're looking at a max of 7-8 ft/s depending on the system of turning we choose.

To all you speed mongers out there, good luck
