Go to Post We were all rookies once, and we really have two ways to go about things: either take a page from the powerhouses and emulate their style, or complain about not having anything and risk falling into oblivion. - George A. [more]

Ground Effects...Legal...Helpful?

Anybody thought about using ground effects to increase traction? You could use a fan or a vacuum to create a low pressure area under the robot creating more weight on the wheels thus more traction. There is potentialy over 1000 square inches under a robot, wouldn't take much of a low pressure area to make a huge difference. Works for F1, Indy cars etc...
