Short and simple: adding more motors for power is pointless if your wheels slip. Only gear it down to a low enough velocity such that your wheels just barely never slip (i.e. they are providing maximum force without slipping at stall torque). Or... go to tank tread as many teams do, where you rarely (if ever) have to worry about slipping. On the other hand your options for mobility is decreased with a tank tread.
