I achieved these ratios not by the rotations--for instance, an 8t gear turning a 24t would result in a 3:1 ratio--but by counting the teeth--for instance, an 8t gear turning a 24t gear would result (...)

The way I see it, pushing power is limited (in an ideal world!) by one of two factors: applied torque (a function of motors and gearing), and the frictional force between the wheels and the surface (controled by the weight of the 'bot and (...)

However, it all depends on whether or not I'll be able to attend the event, and if I was to do that and bring another robot as well, I might have to get myself some more parts! :) Thanks, David J.

Unfortunately, BL58 does weigh over 2 lbs, but as Brian suggested, I could bring it anyway and we could have several rounds with it just for fun. Thanks, (...)

| | | | (...) David, It would be nice to meet you, and see your robots at Sumo-bot 6 (on Sept 18th). It sounds like you don't have enough pieces to build them all at the same time (along with anything else you may have built). I suggested to Jona that I (...)

By the time the sensors would detect the edge of the circle, the robot was too far to stop. So, I won't be taking it to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Sep-04, to lugnet.robotics)
