Re: Average Lap Distance
I also ran some calculations with this yesterday.
Using the maximum robot size (with bumpers) of ~44" x 34".
Using a CAD calculated elipse with a 870.5" (~72.54') total length shortest travel distance per lap with the best line.
Using your given 10 ft/second robot speed...
The most we can squeeze out of this field in a perfect situation with the maximum sized robot with absolutely no traffic would be:
20 laps in 1:45
(not counting time in Hybrid mode in able to get to "the perfect path")
Good luck with any team who can accomplish this!
I'm guessing a best lap count of about 10-15 will be very rare, and 5-10 will be the norm.
Smaller robots will have a slight advantage as they will be able to manuver around robots & the track a lot quicker, and I see rookies hopefully realizing this and taking advantage of this if they don't want to build an arm for Ball manipulation.
