As a follow up on the discussions on various weights of battery cables - i.e. 6, 4, or 2 AWG - I worked on a numerical simulation to examine the impact this selection might have.
The simulation intends to examine the effect upon the mobility actuators while accelerating the robot.
It is possible that a simulation of an activity that maintains a load - e.g. climbing a rope - would indicate different results.
