During our driver tryout period, most of them experienced the same problem, so I switched the traction control from automatically enabled to automatically disabled. It works well for accelerating and smooth curves when you're not colliding into other robots but, once you hit something, the system gets thrown off. Personally, I found it splendid to use until it was thrown off (and when I drove, I used it often, for what it was designed for), but our other drivers had other preferences.
Having a disable/enable feature is a good idea.
