I think we need to introduce you to our friend the regular expression...

Favorite equation for this build season? Torque = r x F. Law of Cosines comes in a close second. Though, I am also a pretty big fan of: Position = ∫∫Acceleration and the cylindrical coordinate system.

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

C(amps) = V/ohms. Seems to be very useful this year. A lot of people seem to be burning out stuff by putting them to incorrect electrical loads (D-Links, for instance X.X).

Also, R + T + M = (Occasional Lack of) Knowledge

I can't believe I haven't see one of the most important minibot equations!?

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

P= ((3.4 * N) div 8 ) + 1

Give N roboteers the number of pizzas P to order

Re: your favorite equations for build seasion

Most used: circumference = 2 * Pi * r

Favorite: f = m * a
