Re: Is it worth it to implement traction control?

Is it an increase or decrease in time? If it's a decrease, yes, it is by all means worth it. If it's an increase, then it is up to your drivers; the advantage of traction control would be that your drivers would not have to worry about slipping. Most teams who have drivers experienced in road ice-driving rely on being able to feel when the tires begin to slip; this will not be possible, but the robot can detect it for you.

Whether it is worth it or not will rely on your team. I suggest talking to your programmers and drive team together.
