Re: VersaWheel vs Traction wheels

I am curious how a wheel would perform if you did this to it:

Take a 1.5" or 2" traction wheel
Remove the traction belt (roughtop, wedge, whatever) or just don't attach tread to a new one
Instead, stick that super sticky (tape side) Velcro tape onto the wheel in place of the tread, Hook side of course

Have unbeatable traction as your robot is constantly Velcroed to the carpet. (hopefully you have enough torque to unstick yourself!)
