Thanks Berkeman. Ill see what figures I can come up with. I will need to find mu for rubber and galvanised steel to get F.

Im doing exactly the same thing for my project. Im lost as to what calculations I need though. My robot will be climbing a galvanized lamp post and am planning on using either wheels or tracks. Do I need to calculate friction force seeing as it will be climbing vertically?
