Go to Post Would FIRST be as amazing if not for CD? I mean it would still be this amazing place for students and mentors to be but the explosion of innovation and gathering of people together across communities has to have been greatly effected by CD. - dodar [more]

Re: Ramp Driving Video

Err... normal force is the robot's weight. Weight has everything to do with force of friction, but, if you mean that weight has no bearing on the ability of a robot to get up a ramp, you'd be correct. Force of friction decreases linearly with weight, but so does force required to move you up the ramp.

Nice job though guys. Any issues regarding robots falling off the sides, with no guards? A bit of excitement during the matches can mean a dropped robot for teams sometimes.
