Re: Propulsion that does not involve driving wheels
Assuming traction and friction to be synonyms, then anything designed to increase normal force is illegal. Friction is the product of the coefficient of friction and the normal force, so increasing either coefficient of friction (explicitly prohibited by wheel requirements) or increasing normal force will increase traction, which is in violation of R06.
