I assume 2809 is probably doing what we're doing this year. More details to come on Monday (if it works).

We are using a torque sensor on each wheel. You can only apply so much torque to a wheel before it slips. Since everything is constant (robot weight, playing surface, wheel, ...) then all you have to do is apply power to the wheel till you reach a predetermined torque target and the wheel will not slip and you will approach max acceleration and pushing power.
I don't know if this is how you are doing it, I am guessing, but that is what we are doing.
