Re: pic: Traction test
Both robots were running at full power. All wheels were slipping right from the start of the test. We also, to add another variable, added approx a 1/2 lb weight to each robot, the tandem wheeled robot, then the single wheeled robot. In each case, the single wheeled robot won the pushing match. We did notice about a 1 degree increase in surface temp of the wheels during the pushing mathces, which quickly dissipated upon shut down.
Tonight is the next phase, dual wheels and 1:3 on both robots.
