The coefficient of friction will vary between different types of rubber. If you are using an Andymark wheel they have the numbers posted on their website for most or all of their wheels on FRC style carpet. Here is the page for the 2010 KOP rubber wheel:

That page lists the CoF as 1.0 static for that wheel.
