imported file over from old branch
Added details about drag calculations and updated blueMaxAnalysis.
Updated README to include physics of the Drag Equation and rolling resistance tests.
Updated Drag Calculations section with new graphs for speed with and without drag.
Updated drag calculations section with new graphs.
Updated the Drag Calculations section with details on drag calculations using rolling resistance tests and the methodology for estimating values.
This script reads suspension travel data from a parquet file, computes relative compression from baseline values, calculates apparent load for each corner, and estimates total downforce. It also generates and saves plots of suspension travel and estimated downforce over time.
Refactor code for clarity and consistency, including updates to comments, variable names, and function signatures. Adjust formatting for improved readability.

use relative file paths where possible. The standard format is that fs-data and sims-data are both in the same folder so referring to data you can typically do "../fs-3//"
