Re: Truck Town Can't Be Pushed

Not to down-play your accomplishment, but, it isn't so much about the weight of the vehicle, it is about the rolling resistance. We used to pull pickup trucks with a robot driven only by two drill motors and without anyone standing on it. On level ground, it is actually fairly easy to make an automobile roll.

EDIT: I forgot the positive happy part of this post.

Pulling vehicles with robots is very fun! Every team should give it a try some time just for fun. And yes, I have seen a truck town robot in action (2003), and yes it was quite hard to push.
