Quote:
Robot wheels, tracks and other parts intended to provide traction on the playing field (“traction devices”) may be purchased or fabricated. In no case, will traction devices
that damage the carpet or other playing surfaces be permitted. Traction devices may
not have surface features such as metal or hard plastic studs, cleats or other
attachments. The outer surface of off-the-shelf wheels may be modified by removing
tread material only. In no case may a traction device protrude beyond the bottom
surface of the Ramp mesh.
Gaining traction by using adhesives or Velcro-like fasteners material is not allowed.
