 In any case, don't beat yourself up over it. Only 24 teams get to play in elimination rounds. Sometimes you're in the 24, and sometimes you aren't. - jgannon [more] |

Re: Smaller Diameter Wheels - What's the advantage?
Well, a robot's acceleration (and thus pushing force) is caused by the force of friction between its wheels and the surface that they're on. The larger contact patch (larger surface area) shouldn't have anything to do with the torque because surface area doesn't matter for friction.
But, your team is the one who has tested this, and you have said that it helps, so I'm going to believe you. |
