Hi, I was recently tasked to build a mini-sumo robot (10x10cm. 500g. the objective is to push your opponent out of a 75cm. diameter arena or dohyo), and I was wondering about the tires that I'm going to use. I want to increase the friction coefficient as much as I can, so I was wondering how to do so. The track or dohyo, is made of wood with black paint, very smooth surface. Everyone uses silicon slick tires 2.5cm. diameter, and about 3cm wide. Can you help me to get the coefficient up? Does the area of contact make any difference? Maybe not use slick tires? any material better than silicon for these?
I order some of these tires to try out, and get the coefficient with the track to have a reference point.
PS. sorry if my grammar is all wrong, I´m not a native english speaker.
Thanks!
