Question
why is it important for a robot to have a low center of mass during a competition? it increases the robots weight it makes the robot move faster it allows the robot to use more sensors it helps prevent the robot from tipping over
A low center of mass means the robot's mass is concentrated near the ground. This lowers the torque due to gravity when tilted, making it less likely to tip. Weight is mass times gravity (\(W = mg\)), so center of mass doesn't directly affect weight. Movement speed relates to motor power and friction. Sensor use depends on design, not center of mass.
