Re: Acceleration greater than 1g



Hi Harjit,

With 2 wheel drive, I was never able to achieve greater than 9m/s/s. I guess the weight transfer limits the acceleration.

With 4 wheel drive, 12m/s/s seems reachable. I have not done a thorough test yet but my 4 wheel mouse is able to run with that speed profile and achieve a faster time. So I guess it works.

You need to have really clean maze and tires. In fact, you need tires cleaner to give you the sticky characteristic.

So, you are right, the tires can really stick to the floor, but only for a short while. Sooner or later, it gets dirty.

Acceleration greater than 1g

I've been puzzling how people are able to achieve acceleration greater than 1g and the only explanation I can come up with is that the tires are actually sticking to the ground.

Thoughts?
