No matter what you do, you'll still be working with limited traction. Instead of worry about getting more traction, why not just embrace the lose of traction?

I think the question of "how can we drive on this new floor?" should be posed to the drivers. It'll require quite a bit of finesse and skill to master the lack of traction but those who do will be at a huge advantage.

Perhaps you should have your drivers research things like Drifting, ice driving, and driving in the rain to get some ideas. I personally, dabble in a bit of drifting myself so I'd like to see if I can apply that experience to driving a robot on this surface.
I agree
