The key is to get the WHOLE TEAM to understand that you are designing and building a robot, which is a complete system - not just a collection of mechanical assemblies stuck together. - SteveGarward [more]
Rebound Rumble ballistic trajectory with air friction drag and Magnus Effect (backspin/topspin lift/dive). For students interested in the physics, math, and computer simulation aspects of this problem. Free-body force diagram, derivation of differential equations of motion, and C pseudo-code for trapezoidal numerical integration.
