I'm not sure how many teams actually do tests to figure the COF on different surfaces but I can give you some rough figures. On carpet some wheels have a COF of >1.5. I haven't tested or scene anything about the mesh but I think thats more dependent on tread than material. The HDPE is the most surprising, for some reason people think its this SUPER SLIPPERY surface when in fact its NOT. There are some materials that have a COF of >3.0 on it. Yes that was >3.0. So if the Kats or anyone else uses that stuff there not gonna move easily. If you doubt those numbers feel free to IM me.

It may just be an illusion but in the pics theres a small shadow under the central treads. It could be possible that they don't just drop there barriers but use them as jacks in order to give them a greater moment.
