A inexpensive alternative is putting zipties on the rear set of wheels. Putting about 10-20 zipties on each wheel (equally spaced) will reduce the traction of those wheels. The more zipties, the less traction. As with Omniwheels, as your traction goes down it becomes easier to push you around.


uhh we had a bad experience with zip ties in the Philly regional

In New Jersey they said it was perfectly legal; while in philly we ended up shaving all of the treads from our tires and waxing them every match becuase they said nothing mechanical could be added to the tires.
