This is where I'm not following. If the wheels are slipping, then the wheels are never "plowing through carpet" in that direction; they're plowing in the opposite direction, but plowing less as speed increases. I do not think it is obvious that this will necessarily decrease the acceleration of the robot, or that the robot-speed model that you use to calculate the drag of moving through carpet when rolling is at all valid in that situation.

I need to go to bed, but I'll draw some pictures tomorrow to explain my confusion.
