The real world testing we did confirmed the values on the KoP. Using a scale we pulled a 4 wheel, weighted (120lbs) chassis in both directions (with the wheels locked.) We got ~16 lbs in-line to overcome static friction and 25 lbs transverse.
I think FIRST would release an update if they were wrong. Recheck your tests and, in the future, explain your methods before making this kind of statement.
