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 !

Here is a picture of our robot from that year for ya! We just call it the tank bot, and it just sits there doing nothing. And btw, that 5th wheel is the butt of many, many jokes lol. The 5th wheel is in the center of the robot, kind of hidden but nevertheless there.
