Did you make your wheels out of Polycarbonate? I'm looking at the list of materials usable on the minibot, and that is the only thing I've seen used as wheels. Not sure about the traction on them, because I don't think anyones ever compared it straight to rubber.

EDIT: Just thought, you could put a nonslip pad (that comes in a roll so it would be easy to put on where the rubber would be of a regular wheel, these still being made of polycarbonate), that would have better traction than rubber.
