I think it's funny you're objectively wrong but continue to insist you're right. Anyway, I'm not gonna waste any more time correcting someone that's allergic to learning.
Ah, knocking all the chess pieces off the board and strutting away. It's funner to actually think about the interesting problem tho. I just got back from a weekend EUC race at Alameda naval tarmac, I love pushing what the things are capable of.
You joined the comment tree of "I don't think (electric included) unicycles will ever have the same stopping performance of conventional vehicles" and have taken the position of defending that absolutist statement.
I get it, not everyone is familiar with EUC racing. To help, here is a photo of the average hard brake from 40+mph on a modern EUC (probably a ET Max or Lynx or similar high kilowatt wheel), since you might not be familiar with what we are discussing -
Notice how far you lean to decelerate from speed. Note the handle you can yank as you buck your bodyweight back. That all forces the controller to compensate with more kilowatts of stopping power, instantly righting the gyro sensor. The more you try to tip it backwards, the harder it brakes to force itself back upright.
I don't have a mythbusters style video to make it crystal clear that you're wrong, but sounds like its a good idea, by how folks are reacting to the news. I'll suggest it to my youtuber friends.
For now, try to imagine a vehicle that invalidates your position. We only need one example after all, it being an absolutist statement. Think of edge cases. Something that skids around a lot. Fixie bike in NYC? The kind you see messengers whizzing around on all the time, that can only skid their rear wheel, and have no front brake, by design. Still defending the claim?
And to your point - an F1 car with thousands of pounds of aerodynamic downforce will stop shorter than an EUC, absolutely. We agree there.
