I really, really hope you've tested this. Your interface between tread and pulley relying solely on friction (and not even having a V-belt interface or anything) is really, really bad as far as treads go. The suggestion to coat the pulleys in something with more friction honestly probably isn't even going to do the trick.
The moment someone T-bones you I don't see how your treads aren't immediately going to derail.
Not trying to be a jerk, just hoping you've already answered these questions so you don't show up to competition and have a season ending "OH SH**" moment.

We do have a V-belt and the pulleys with the proper adjustment. Actually we obtained the belts and the pulleys out of an air-conditioning device. And we have the proper tensors also. IT has been working great so far. Friction with carpet is the only thing that we have not tested but we are looking forward to test it on carpet today.
Also, we will add our bumpers to show it to you.
We know you are not trying to be rude we understand your point. This is Gracious Professionalism. Thank you for that!!!
