Re: More friction questions

I was saying that basing ideas off what you believe will happen rarely works in my experience, especially concerning physics. I did no scientific method testing, but noticed some odd responses from playing with the robot and did the math behind it. And I would love for someone else to try the same thing, after all nothing is sure until its repeatable.

PS Once you move into dynamic friction (slipping wheels) it does not matter how fast your wheels are spinning you get the same force response.

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.

GO DANVILLANS!!
