Re: Are six wheels better than four?

The interaction of the wheels on the floor is $@#$@#$@#$@# close to two ideal surfaces.

Therefore, surface area in no way will increase traction.

the coefficient of friction is said to be .05/.06 for static, therefore all robots that are 150 lbs can only push with 7.5/9 lbs of force, regardless of the number of wheels.
