Thanks I did not realize. However still there are other situations that represent using a larger surface area for more traction.

Inside FIRST robotics it self, IFI sells traction wheels and advertises the wider ones to have more traction. Im also noticing that all my surface area example are wheels, maybe wheels have special friction properties that include surface area, just not that I remember.

Anyone can watch Westcoast Choppers and see adults build things, but FIRST is great because it encourages kids to do the building and adults to do the watching.
