Traction is a tricky subject. It seems to contradict itself all over the place.

In FIRST, the good brecoflex tracks can have a 1.5-1.6 coefficient of friction on the field (from a brecoflex catalog I saw a while back). The better tread a lot of teams use has a debated 1.2-1.3 cof (wedgetop/roughtop - variation comes from diferent materials and different test). I bet if the wheels had the same tread the belts did, they would have a 1.5-1.6 cof as well.

What I said above is fact, from experimentation (except the final guess). I still am not even close to understanding it completely.


On another note, these tracks would be better at climbing than traditional omnis.
