Magnets will help you hold onto the metal floor (or defense in this case). That's good for battlebots, where the goal is to not get pushed around. For climbing over defenses, the goal is to get over the defense, not hold onto it. Adding magnets to the treads will only make it harder to get over the defenses, not easier.
