Smile Re: Floor wearing away

Greatest traction is achieved when starting out by applying torque to the point just before wheel slip (Dynamic vs. Static Friction). If you are burning out at start, you are not going anywhere if the surface is intact. I suspect your traction increase may be due to the material the rogolith is adhered to is being worn through. It may have a higher CoF than the surface film. FIRST may have to clean these areas between matches, and may even have to replace sheets in these areas if it truly is a problem. It will be something to watch for while we are testing, and report to FIRST as a potential problem. Everyone should take note, and Thanks or the observation.
