I feel like it is necessary to reiterate this statement. The friction of carpet is very different than what you are seeing in your tile hallway. Your robot WILL perform differently on carpet.
Every year I see this at least twice...a robot that is flawless in a hallway or a gym, but when it gets on the field it can't overcome the friction and is only good at going in a straight line or worse it can't move at all.
Please Please Please find some carpet and try it out, at full final weight.
