The motor datasheet specifies the heat dissipation in terms of current and voltage. The current will be higher when we need more torque from the motors, so we look for hills in the route map (ASC 2018 data) and see how much power we will need to dissipate. We will also look at the case of accelerating from stop to full speed, then maintaining that full speed (which we will likely do at some point during testing).
Aiming for 16m16.6m/s throughout the race. These calculations are all done
Average torque is 15.7Nm
Average of all the positive torques is 17.2Nm (treating the distance between each 2 points as identical).
^Note that the above torques are for the
