Thanks for the power advice so far, it seems to be the biggest factor aside from the wheels. Unfortunately, we don't have the option to really change the wheels out on our bot because this was a our rookie year. So we only have a few rover wheels in the library. We might try layering them (maybe with duct tape as suggested) for protection and traction.
We are definitely working on figuring out some sort of hand out, probably CANDY!!
Thanks again, keep them coming!
