Re: Be afraid... Be VERY Afraid
Siri,
1. You are correct in that the first place that you lose friction is the only one that matters, but since there are multiple contact points, each one adds to the total friction available. Lets suppose you see an incoming robot front the right of our robot, we would turn the wheels so that they face front to back (perpendicular to the incoming force).
2. It would simply be used as a built-in neutral position which may or not help with this years game.
3. I believe the diameter is about 4 inches.
