Re: Flipped Trailer
I think it is unlikely (although possible) that a trailer will flip. The low friction allows for very easy slipping, so the trailer is far more likely to slide than flip (the trailer rolling over is in the simplest sense a wheel, in order for it to turn there has to be enough friction that it doesn't slip). The trailer also has a fairly wide wheel base, which also makes it harder for it to turn.
Our team has done some practice with a basic trailer, that never came close to flipping even when it was whipped back and forth, but I'm not sure if they had the swivel hitch installed (which is necessary for the trailer to flip without the entire robot going over as well). |
