THANK YOU, Dr. Joe and Ether for the education in this thread. I know that when I'm watching battery numbers on the FMS Monitor screen this season, this thread will come to mind as a way to help explain to teams why they are browning out on the field if their situation is similar, which I expect to see a LOT of.
I actually do have something on topic I guess. When making hub adapters, I played around with air pressure in the 8" Harbor Freight Red tires that we have and it was pretty amazing the change in circumference that a few pounds of air made. I can very easily see just increasing the center tire solving the issue by giving enough "rock".

I agree adding air to the center to get the rock would solve the problem. Except in our case we don't have any tubes in our tires. Rather filled them with pool noodles. So the solution isnt that easy
The most important part of successfully solving the problem is to understand what the problem is. Elegance in engineering comes from "optimizing" your solution, not solving problems that don't really exist. Fulfill your requirements, meet your goals... - JVN [more]
