Re: Team 1296 Mecanum Bump Test
Polymers as traction surfaces generally lose traction efficiency as normal force is increased. Search CD or any tire test data if you don't believe me. I would anticipate some specific traction (tractive force per unit weight) loss as you add on weight. You will have more total tractive force, but relatively more mass to move.

I think that FIRST should just give up and officially recognize Chiefdelphi as the place to go for community and team resources. - Greg Needel [more]
