Re: More friction questions

I'm sorry... did you mean you experimentally tested and the lighter robot accelerated faster? The difference in the equations is due to conversion/rounding errors (try it with just 50 kg and 40 kg), but perhaps there's a factor we're not accounting for. For example, it takes less power to spin the wheels on a lighter robot.
