2 Motors is Faster?!
Okay, so I think we all saw the demo where Dean and Dave race a 2 motor robot against a 4 motor robot and they reach the finish at the same time.
Having taken my fair share of physics I do not for the life of me understand how this is possible. More force should equal greater acceleration, for the same mass. Correct? They will reach the same speed, but the 4 motor bot will accelerate faster. So did they reach the end at the same time simply because the 2-motor bot's lightness made up for its lack of power?  After several transmission/motor swaps in '08 our team pretty much convinced ourselves that 4 motors was ALWAYS the way to go. |
