    How can we increase friction and traction in our FIRST Robotics Team's robot?

    With the unpredictability of the trailer, any kind of counter torque is going to be moot. Also, motors are barely sensetive enough to detect something like this and react. Could definitely have applications though. Also, spinning the tires faster does help; how else would vehicles drift...

    How can we increase friction and traction in our FIRST Robotics Team's robot?

    Hey sunny! I'm in first as well, same problem, same question. I've looked at everything from vaccums to gyroscopes. I don't think there is any way around it, we will be sliding all over the place and that is preety much final. Theres no inertial mechanism or device powerful enough to have a...

    Propulsion for a Robot on near frictionless surface.

    You are Given the wheels and may purchase more. They are all the same size. They are similar in size to wheel chair wheels, except instead of the gray rubber there is that same slippery white polymer.

    Propulsion for a Robot on near frictionless surface.

    Some of you are familiar with the US FIRST Robotics organization, a program that introduces robotics to high school students. This years game/task involves playing on a surface that is VERY SLIPPERY, intended to effectively simulate "floating" in 1/6th Earth's gravity as if the robot was on the...
