Same here. We're going with 3.5" wheels this year. Scares me, but they should work.

Our best driving robot we've ever built so far had 4 Skyway 9x2 wheels turned down flat. That foam rubber tread drives nice on carpet. I would recommend turning the tread profile flat though. From the factory, they have a pretty small contact patch.
