Re: paper: CG Migration of Robot Crossing Bump using Powerpoint

For those that are wonder where their CG will end up, take a look at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2048
It allows both weight budgeting and CG estimation. You can use this to get an estimate before the CAD modeling gets too far along. 10-20 minutes spent now on budgeting can save hours (or even days) of rework.

I apologize that the user interface is not slicker and am open to suggestions for improvement.

Thumbs up Re: paper: CG Migration of Robot Crossing Bump using Powerpoint

Excellent graphical presentation. I would like to suggest a more correct terminology usage. The center of gravity does not change (unless you have moving components), the Moment of gravity is what is being depicted by the vector. This, along with center of mass, is used in aircraft and ship stability calculations also.

Pretty cool paper. It is a great visual way to demonstrate CG. I like it.
