Re: Who's done the math?
Sorry, arithmetic is not my forte... The equations are correct. I agree with the updated numbers - in any case much smaller than a CIM's max torque.

I did use the kinetic rather than tha static coefficient of friction. One of the secrets in this game will be to NOT to accelerate faster than allowed by the coefficient of friction, in this case 0.06g or .6m/s^2.

Thanks!
