Re: HELP with drivetrain decision

Hey Sunny, I dont know if you noticed, but at least in one match, I watched as we were slid (yep, our tracks were locked, but sliding) by another bot. We measured the coefficient of friction to be over 1 against carpet and the tread plate. In any case, we need to increase our COF. Maybe a different texture on the pads or a softer urethane? Like others have said, if we can increase the COF by 33-50% we will be able to take advantage of additional motors.
