edit- there are ways that you can make a good plywood wheels... so just make sure that you build it the right way...
You evidently didn't see last years wheels , they are about 2 inch thick and covered in rubber, they have tremendous amounts of grip
tbh last years robot would work pretty well for this year , as it is a box stacker which worked well , i am sure i can dig some photos up sometime
