By our testing cutting the treads in the colsons increased the coefficient of friction by up to 30%, this summer we will be working on documentation to prove this. There is a reasonable difference in the amount we can push with our competition robot that is fitted with the cut colsons to the practice robot, that has just the left alone colsons. This will be the forth year driving with these colsons and I can say we rarely even come across someone we can't push!
