Another thing to do is load up a goal (or reasonable equivalent) and see how easy it is to stall your drive system. If you can hold your bot back with one hand, (stalling the drive motors) you probably don't have have an optimum drive yet. If your wheels break loose on the carpet or push you back, congratulations, you are probably close.
Good Luck,
