TXDERBY13:21:06 17/04/2009cannot overcome wheels
TommyK13:21:12 17/04/2009not sdc, spirit
TommyK13:21:24 17/04/2009cornering is part of buggy too
TXDERBY13:21:33 17/04/2009Sig No and SDC spins related to wheels?
TXDERBY13:21:57 17/04/2009Sig Nu
TommyK13:22:00 17/04/2009Sig Nu and {Spirit} and yes I think it affects the handling

TommyK13:22:23 17/04/2009Sig NU had big problems going up hill too
TommyK13:22:35 17/04/2009tail swerving while being pushed
TXDERBY13:22:58 17/04/2009Signu Steve is quiet :-\
TommyK13:23:16 17/04/2009PU formullations are a complete mystery to me
TXDERBY13:23:22 17/04/2009could it have been the push bar on a new car and not SigNu wheels?
TommyK13:23:22 17/04/2009seems like more art than science
TommyK13:24:01 17/04/2009the trike orientation .. the longer bar .. but also the whels
TommyK13:24:18 17/04/2009it seems like nothing in buggy is copletely independent
TommyK13:24:53 17/04/2009just like we can't exactly tell the fastest buggy because they get pushed by different people and driven by different driver
TommyK13:25:02 17/04/2009and all ride on different wheels

TXDERBY13:25:15 17/04/2009GTG - any wheel advise (Pika wheels kick our $*&# two years in a row)?

TommyK13:25:38 17/04/2009Do you test resilience?
TXDERBY13:25:55 17/04/2009that is one but not the only test
TXDERBY13:26:12 17/04/2009what # should we look for?
TommyK13:26:17 17/04/2009For downhill performance optimize the resilience, anyway you can.
TommyK13:26:28 17/04/2009The closer to 100% the faster you will go
TXDERBY13:26:32 17/04/2009where is the winning #?
mengo7613:26:38 17/04/2009got a meeting, catch you guys later
TXDERBY13:27:03 17/04/2009what is the highest percent reached by CMU teams?
TommyK13:27:05 17/04/2009Offhand ... best I ever measured ... 90%
TXDERBY13:27:17 17/04/200990% PU or rubber?
TommyK13:27:26 17/04/2009Both
TXDERBY13:27:52 17/04/2009Did not know that PU could get that high
TommyK13:28:02 17/04/2009we had a pika-esque compound for a while but we found PU to much more user friendly, cheaper and delivered results
TommyK13:28:18 17/04/200990% involved lots of special treatment
TommyK13:28:33 17/04/2009if you can treat in ultimate you should be
TXDERBY13:28:34 17/04/2009treatment when mixing the PU?
TommyK13:28:39 17/04/2009post
TXDERBY13:28:53 17/04/2009treat PU post?
TommyK13:28:55 17/04/2009but be careful
TXDERBY13:29:15 17/04/2009if I dont know how to treat what should I be careful of?
TommyK13:29:27 17/04/2009too much = shredded tires
TXDERBY13:29:36 17/04/2009too much what?
TommyK13:29:41 17/04/2009ketones = cancer
TXDERBY13:29:42 17/04/2009soooo confused
