nah, its
a = (v^2 - vo^2) / 2sg
that
really
hurts.
a = acceleration, v=final velocity, vo=starting velocity, s=stopping distance, g=gravity constant (9.8m/s/s)
Or, put more simply. Speed (energy) doesnt kill, its the sudden stop (deceleration) that hurts and turns people into pink splats.
Or put another way, off-ramps are fine, brick walls (or concrete bridges) = ouch
Most of our robotic combat is about rapid transferal of energy into the opponent (deceleration) in an attempt to break something. _________________ Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people
