Re: Contact Area and its Relation to Friction?

Quote:

When turned on, the base with 2 wheels per axle could overcome and outpush the other base every time. We did this 12 times, each time changing to a new, fresh battery.

When you mean "overcome and outpush", what exactly happened? The single-wide drive train's wheels started spinning? Or both robots maintained traction and one won out over the other?
