In that, I would most definitely agree with you

Has anyone thought about creating a way to modify your center of gravity/weight distribution on the wheels, in order to aid in traction control? Would require a mass on board able to be moved in some direction or another. Might not be likely to have a light enough bot in most cases for it to be feasible. I wonder to what extent something like that would be able to help though? Hmm... possibilities...
