G-Tech questions

[rhock99 at epix.net (Ryan H)]

Using the mass of the car (programmed in) and the rate of acceleration (measured by the accelerometers) with basic formulas (which I can't recall off hand) you can calculate the hp of any object.  Rolling resistance, gravity, and possibly wind resistance are surely compensated for somewhere in these formulas.  If I could come up with the formulas, it would make much more sense, but hopefully this gives you the gist of it.
