(...) I don't think that will work properly, though (from a fairness standpoint). Specifically because: 10 N @ 1 m = 10 Nm So a 1 kg mass (appr. 10 N) at the end of the beam generates a moment of 10 Nm at the fulcrum. Robot A weighs 25 N and robot B (...)

Hey guys, Did anyone shoot video at Drag Racing? I enjoyed Drag Racing so much (actually having participated and placed) that I forgot to pull out the ol' video camera and take some footage. Did anyone from the group shoot any material?! Calum (20 years ago, 1-Mar-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
