If my understanding of a wheel's mechanics is correct, static friction from the wheels is the only force ever really pushing the robot, and slip occurs when the force from the motors exceeds that static friction. That contradicts what you're saying here:

Would that be correct? It seems counter-intuitive that force from a motor could overcome slip -- I'm imagining Lunacy-style wheels, where more force from the motors just meant more slip.
