Wait, is this saying that not only did the traction not go down, it went up?
I'm sorry, but didn't you just establish a correlation between surface area and traction? It seems to me that you did. Never did I say that increasing your surface area increases your traction because that's simply not true in all cases.

However, it can be true and has been true in FIRST in the past. How do I know? I designed a drivetrain that was, apparently, stronger than 250 or so others and it was based entirely on deformation and the meshing of irregular surfaces.
