Hmm.., let's think here. One newton down--force required to move left or right, two newtons. That doesn't make sense--it's more than just macroscopic differences in the elevation of the surface.
Now TRACTION is different all together. If you can some how "dig in" to the carpet or mesh, then yes. Or possibly if you've gone to the incredible effort of having small suction cup studs on your wheels--well no, there you still have the friction of the suction cup. Not friction, but traction, I suppose. And a ramp dominator could deffinately use being able to gear down, I suppose (but again, with the only simple fix, it would have to stop first)--but I'm sure you would've asked already if it were that crucial to the design. I suppose if you have an extra few man hours to spare, then you could try it out. We're so tight and heavy we couldn't even dream of it.
