Last year Team 217 ThunderChickens used the Neoprene pad material (from Small Parts catalog) on the wheels of our robot.
We determined that the coefficient of friction with the carpet was >1.6. As proof, our robot pulled 220 lbs (horizontal force) at a demonstration conducted during the National competition at Orlando.
