Re: Traction Questions
I fully support Ether's suggestion: those 10^4 lines of code don't get nearly the workout that they should.
Also, it has been my experience that aggressive (read: winning) drivers tend to wear down wheel surfaces in roughly inverse proportion to surface area. Prolonging tread life by doubling the wheel surface can prevent losing a critical pushing contest during the second of two back-to-back matches. This is an important consideration for district teams -- we need to keep our robots performing well in all twelve qualifying matches.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
