You're right.

@Original Post
Wheels (a lot of them) on their own should be able to give as much traction as a stomp pad, but the main idea is to get most to all of the weight onto the bumper extensions.

Also, it would be beneficial (if you plan on deploying a minibot, or if you get pushed out of position) to raise the bumper extensions, because the long configuration being won't be very maneuverable when it comes to turning.
