I'm not sure that the 5th wheel will help you since you would be dividing your normal force by 5 wheels instead of 4 wheels.
A 5th wheel helps with traction when you have carpet but not with FRP !

^ the 2002 robot, minus side panels and bumpers. And it was the most beastly robot FRC has seen. It pulled a small car (or so I've heard). Last that I have heard, it is still in (somewhat) working order.
