I believe I understand what you are saying, that by moving the wheels perpendicular to the incoming force, you are using the traction of the ball and floor as your traction limit as opposed to the traction limit on the wheels against the ball. What is hanging me up is the part where you say "each one adds to the total friction available". This is not a summation, your maximum theoretical resistance to pushing (or traction) will be limited by the ball's traction with the floor.

Wouldn't it then be the: ball traction - wheel traction = Max. Theoretical Traction.
