Re: Catapulting minibot

Even if you need to have non-sliding contact, you can just put a wheel on the robot so that it might touch the pole on the way up.

But has anyone done the projectile motion calculations to figure out how hard we have to propel an object upwards in order for it to exert 2-4 newtons at the top?
