V is the final velocity. If you draw your triangle, you have V going off at an angle, and Vx horizontal and Vy vertical. So you can say that Vx = V * cos(23) while Vy = V * sin(23).

So this problem requires a little bit of abstract thought. We know that the x velocity, Vx has to be just enough to clear the snakes, so 8.7/t, where t is your hang time. By the trig of the problem, we can also say that Vx = V cos(23). We know that Vy has to be just enough so that produces...

Nope. Nothing except for the wheels can be touching the ground on a plane perpendicular to the play field for the duration of the match.

The number i plugged into webassign is the Kg divided by the conversion factor...

Homework Statement Determine the mass defect of the nucleus for cobalt 5927Co, which has an atomic mass of 58.933 198 u. Express your answer in AMU and Kg. Homework Equations How do I get the AMU? Or Atomic Mass Unit? The Attempt at a Solution Ok, so I solved the answer in Kg. The answer in Kg...

Agreed. We are trying to get an ABS working but our programmer is against it for some reason, hopefully your post will convince him.

Spinning tires faster would causing drifting which isn't good in this situation. I don't have any major problems with it. Almost all of our current designs do not fold out beyond 28 x 38 x 60 so I see no big deal. It's just another constraint which we have to work around.

Hm...I don't think spinning the wheels faster will you give more traction, I think it might do the exact opposite and spin them out. If it is inevitable that we spin out, I say that a strongly coded acceleration algorithm might do the trick. Our programmer(s) are/is working to find a solution to...

Well, the field is flat. And the wheels must be angled on a place perpendicular to the robot, so in turn, I assume all of the wheels will be touching the robot. I have suggested the fan, but the power systems do not match up. We will need to create a large amount of force from the fan. Plus...

Ah, sorry about the lack of information. The wheels cannot be altered in anyway. The field cannot be changed/damaged in anyway. If it helps, there is a 1 foot wide strip surround the plastic flooring around the rectangular field, but so far we've seen no purpose for it. But considering it's...

Hello Everyone, I am on a FIRST Robotics Team. This year, the game has presented us with a new challenge. The playing surface is made of rough plastic, but the wheels are hard smooth plastic. Basically killing friction, or at least reducing it by 1/6. Now, my question is how do I...
