Edit: They say the only things allowed to provide traction are rover wheels, but they say nothing about normal force. It does raise one issue: there must be no friction between the omni wheels and the ground, something impossible to do in reality.
Our team wondered about this as well... Is something used to balance the robot considered traction? It all depends on what they mean as traction. Do they mean anything that is trying to move the robot? Or stop it as well?
