'Air Sort': Sorting by Landing Time
The craziest sorting mechanism is no mechanism at all. Using physics to separate game pieces in mid-air.
The Physics of Backspin: Why It Matters
Stability. Retention. Range. How adding backspin to your game piece changes everything.
Shoot on the Move: Kinematics & Physics
Don't stop to shoot. Learn the vector math required to compensate for your robot's velocity.
Shooter Comparison: Hoods vs. Speed Control
Which is better for aiming? Adjusting the angle or adjusting the speed? A data-driven comparison.
Trajectory Physics: High Arc vs. Low Arc
The geometry of winning. When to use a high lob shot to evade defense versus a flat laser shot for speed and accuracy.
Shooter Design: Variable Speed Systems
Can you change range just by changing speed? We analyze the physics of RPM modulation for range control.
