It boils down to this:

To much traction + To 'tall" a gear ratio = Smoke
You guys had a nice machine too. In fact if I remeber correctly our robots were quite similar in design except for the ball hoop position that made ours take quite long to use. We even had traction problems that made it quite hard for our robot to turn. What we did was convert it into a two wheel drive and add fake duck tape to the front. It worked quite well because I saw the wheels slipping during our match with your bot which I later discovered is good to stop the motors from stalling and burning out. It tipped over twice which was funny since we won one and lost the other by one point. Now all we need to figure out is how to use those motors with the plastic mounts without destroying the mounts.
