Go to Post We had an over all losing record this year. When I look at kid's faces, they don't give a rip about that. I see excitement about the next event and talking about improvements for next year. Winning is nice, but that is not the reason I do what I do. - wilsonmw04 [more]

Re: Friction Puzzle

I did the math a couple of days ago. Using a simple model of friction, the robot will not move.

However, if you can get those unhelpful wheels to start sliding, it will move just fine. Just spin them quickly (perhaps alternating directions as rapidly as you feel comfortable doing) and they'll essentially lose much of their friction.
