Re: What kind of wheels do you use?
We machined our own wheels from 6" di 2" thick 6061 Aluminum disks and screwed on McMaster Wedgetop incline conveyor belting for the tread. You can't get much more grippy than that stuff.
As a side note, I've noticed that I'd say a majority of robots have wheels bigger than they need to be.
