Re: Advice for driving on ice?

I'd try putting a zip tie around the central bulge of each mecanum roller. If they are small and sharp enough, they'll act like mecanum ice skates.

With enough time to prepare, I would suggest fabricating hard plastic "screw wheels" with a coarse, sharp, 45-degree helical tread pattern. You'd want to mount the wheels so that the ridges form an "X" against the ice.
