When it comes to what kinds of wheels, treads, etc. you use FRC does not restrict what you can use beyond the size, weight, and price restrictions that apply to the entire design. Generally this is true for any materials on the robot other than pneumatics, electrical systems, and certain sensors. However, when looking to do something entirely new for your drive train in the build season, keep in mind that if your robot doesn't move well, it won't do much else well (unless you've built around a strategy that doesn't require mobility). If you choose to do something new, proceed with caution.
