Too bad surface area doesn't affect traction

Are you going to a first week regional? If so, then I'm not sure about the rules on upgrade parts. I'm pretty sure omni wheels, in your case, would be considered upgrade parts. If you're going to a regional after the first week, then you are allowed to bring upgrade parts.

It's really lame how first week regionals can't bring in upgrade parts, but every other regional can. What's the reason for that?
