If you listen to the audio on the video you can hear the traction control at work. With the TC off you can hear the motors whirring away and the wheels spinning even when the robot is held stationary. With the TC on you can hear that the sound is very different, the wheels are not spinning even though the robot is being told to go forward, but held from doing so.
