Scientific Traction Testing at Nationals
For everyone who is tired of hearing unquantifyable or unrealistic boasts of robot pulling power, Team 180 is bringing a traction tester to EPCOT. It is basically a 4ft x 5ft wood floor with carpet glued down and a bracket holding a spring scale and pulley. You can bring your robot by, set it down, we'll have some spectra so you can figure out where you want to tie your robot to the pulley, tether up and away you go. We should be able to measure pulling force from 0 - 400lbs. We will even have prizes for best pulling robot. You're welcome to use the table if you want to tweak your traction. Any suggestions on prizes that would entice people to come by and try it out?
