Team 180 has used treads for most of it's existence.

Brecoflex is the way to go, if you want treads.

They aren't cheap, but they can be made to any length that you want.

We have tried several different backings, but the green and blue diamond patterns (I have no idea what they are really called) give very good traction.

On our 2002 robot, Fluffy, we saw a 2.0 coefficient of traction. In other words, our little 130 lb robot pushed with 260 lbs of force. It worked quite well at dragging opponents and goals around the field.
