From what I hear, wedgetop tread has more traction on surfaces like hdpe than roughtop or blue nitrile tread. That's the main reason most top teams used it.

Also, I'm not sure if the robot has an active breaking system on it or not. That could help. 256 had software breaks that worked so well we could be at a 45 degree angle and still stay where we were without falling. Of course, these disabled when the robot was turned off.
