Yes, weight does help traction, but it is a legal addition to the robot to a limit. Increasing your traction beyond your idle state/curb weight I think would cause the issue.

Traction control is legal because it is increasing control electronically. Not changing the physical interaction between the playing surface and the rover wheels
