I have seen robots that drain a battery in one match, power draw is something teams should think about.
Increasing friction also increases the amount of power that is required to turn, this can result in a large power draw. If there is a reasonable amount of performance increase that can be gained by minimizing slipping in software why not take advantage of it?
