I can possibly answer why this is (as why were going to use suction cups until we found this out).
1. Any scratches that the cups come down on, hinders the effectiveness of the cup since there is air that is allowed into the vacuum area.
2. There just isn't enough pressure the hold the cups down.
3. Suction cups are pretty easy to slide side to side, but basically impossible to move upward. Well if both bots are on a level surface, it would still be somewhat easy to move a bot w/ suction cups.
