The surface will not be wet or oily, and the silicon will not transfer to the balls and make then slippery, but it will greatly reduce the coeffecient of friction between the balls and your bot, and the balls will slip instead of wedging and jamming. You really have to try this to see the difference. its unbelieveable!

What we did is put a piece of pvc pipe that can spin so everytime the ball would try to go under, the pipe would just spin and make the ball bounce off. I don't know if you guys understood that but the idea works. I'll try to get a picture to you guys.
