Who's done the math?

I was just curious..
Our team is in the middle of doing the math, trying to figure out the maximum force and acceleration that can be applied to the wheels before loosing traction.

Obviously it isn't going to be much, but we are trying to make a decision with our drive-train and gear box's.

So given the coefficients of friction..

Quote:
From the Kit Of Parts Manual:

The tread material is Celcon M90, and has the following coefficients of friction on white, rippled fiberglass plastic sheet

Inline, static: 0.06
Inline, dynamic: 0.05
Transverse, static: 0.14
Transverse, dynamic: 0.10
So i guess what i am asking is has anyone figured out the maximum torque and acceleration that these wheels can handle on this surface?


Good Luck Teams!
THANKS!
