If a team puts the thought into suction cups, they could be effective. I think many teams probably grabbed a plunger from the bathroom, slammed it down onto the HDPE, and then after watching it easily slide across the top, wrote off suction as an unworkable idea.

My team's fear of suction cups is the unpredictable nature of how much the HDPE will get scractched. We're pretty sure it's going to have some deep gauges from things like omniwheels, robots falling over, totes falling over, flailing arms, etc.
