Re: 4WD Turning Difficulties

I took a few minutes to update the spreadsheet from the beginning of the thread to include the forces from the trailer in the FBD. At present I still do not have the physical properties (i.e. an adequate trailer) to validate the spreadsheet, but it does seem to agree with what I have seen in videos from other teams. If some folks concur that the physics are correct I'll put it up in the white papers. Let me know if it is worthwhile.
