Not those numbers, but we did measure the CoF of a gear with an actual FRC (2015) carpet yesterday (laying flat) using the well-known ramp method, finding it to be 0.43*. Static and dynamic were indistinguishable; once the gear started it moved at a slow steady rate down the ramp. As the gear weighs 18.4 oz per the game manual, expect to have a frictional force of about 8 oz.
* 39" long piece of plywood backing, hand raised, tape measure measurements, so you might want to put around a +/- 0.02 on it.
