Right but I'm proposing is the momentum of a light bot will be easily controlled by the friction of the wheels, even if that friction is less. So a heavy bot will be less willing to slow down based on the friction then a heavy bot. The change in friction shouldn't change anything because both robots encounter the same change.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.
