I seem to remember that there was a vehicle using this kind of drive system that was the first to do something over ice and icy water (I don't remember what it did, but it was something like travelling from Alaska to Scandinavia via the north pole)

Your right. I do believe it crossed the Bearing Straight. It's called the archimedes screw. Rather quite simple concept since it acts just like a giant propeller.

Whether screw drive would scale well to a 130 lb. robot would have to be seen on the field.

It probably wouldn't work at all on carpet. The only three materials that this would even remotely work on is water, sand, and snow.
