Re: Propulsion that does not involve driving wheels
At Bongle, did the 26 Newtons of frictional force come from each wheel, or from all of the wheels together, and how heavy was the robot? Anyways, a mentor and I had the same idea of having fans blowing like in a swamp boat. We calculated that a battery with an 18AH life would be capable of holding out for the length of the match, with a bit of time left over.
