I would be careful with using zip-ties in your wheels to solve a turning problem... I only say this because of experience... Back in 2006, my old team's (381) robot had 4 pneumatic grippy tires and turning was terrible. To compensate for this we used the zip-ties and it solved all of our problems at the NJ Regional. After that competition, we went to the Philadelphia Regional, and the inspectors deemed it illegal because they were afraid of "surface damage" to the carpet. I always wondered why this was, and when the same issue came up this year again with my current team (2180), we had to look at other methods. We're using shrink wrap around our front wheels. While it might not have as much traction, turning is a breeze...
