Hmmm... wonder what the coefficient of friction of cotton candy to carpet is. You may be on to a sticky-good solution there, Tytus.
Some input and questions:
1. Incorporating the AM Shifter side plates into your base frame would save you about 2" or maybe 3" of height. You can just buy the pieces individually and save some money, even.
2. How do you get chain tension between the wheels and from the gearbox to the wheel?
All in all, it looks great. I assume that the metal parts of the frame are welded together. If this is not a battlebot, then the thickness of the plates don't need to be over 3/16", and some could even be 0.090" thick.
Good job.
