IBApril180, I found this paper to be quite interesting. It's good to see some empirical data to help us deal with the old arguments about surface area and traction. Do you have plans to perform more experiments?
I think it would be very helpful if someone were to test tractive materials commonly used on FIRST robots, with a normal force around competition weight. It would be very, very, useful in selecting the proper tread for the amount of torque one's drive train can safely provide. Research into why some materials are "stickier" than others would be great, too. This looks like a cool science fair project! I hope you have plans to continue working on this! You could make a very valuable database out of it. Thanks for posting it! |
