when dean's bot collided with the other one, it looked just like some of the ice collisions up here in north Idaho... so some tips for ice driving:
1) start slow, otherwise you'll peel out,
2) controlled drifting can stop you faster occasionally
3) anti-lock breaks are your beast friend, or just decreasing speed first
4) more weight does mean more friction, but also you take a LOT longer to stop
5) try to get practice on ice if you have it near where you live.
i just wish that ice rink here in town had a stronger roof... it collapsed under the snow...
