Re: Calculating of traction/friction

The numbers in the manual are bogus since we are playing on carpet instead of
Quote:
white, rippled fiberglass plastic sheet
Additionally, we have two different wheels in the kit and that is only a spec for one... which coincidentally is the exact data from last year.

From the AndyMark site I find that the sticky wheels are listed at 1.0 and the slick wheels at 0.2.

I'd go with those numbers. Expect this to be covered in a future update.
