Gary, You missed 217

Gary,

You missed the 217 pull. We were a write in above 121 with 196lbs (if memory serves). We tested with the exact methods you guys did and found our mu was between 1.5 and 1.6 (several different tests). The brecoflex is good stuff, but we used the neoprene padding from McMaster Carr (and small parts). The neoprene pad is much less expensive than the Brecoflex stuff.

P.S. - We are also looking forward to your white paper. We have derived several equations for the motion of a robot operating under dc motors and hope our equations match yours. (For a level of sanity check).
