Yes HDPE is a slippery surface. It has been used in some previous FRC games -- one notable use was the top of the ramp in 2003, where it made for quite a challenge to hold a KingOfTheHill endgame position.
I expect totes to slide more easily on HDPE than they will on the smooth side of Masonite board, which is what the low-cost scoring platform drawings call for.

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.
