As being from Team 308 last year, I'll comment really quick on the wheels. They started out as circular disks, and we machined out the groves, leaving us with teath. I can't remember all the specifics on them, but they didn't come to a point. They still had lots of traction since the edge of each tooth was pretty sharp, and we didn't tear up the carpet at all.

: : In addidition to doing four-wheel drive, we are thinking of making some wheels out of metal, which would be similar to a gear, but with points. Would this be allowed, or would FIRST dq it because it could damage the carpet?

: My initial reaction was that FIRST would probably DQ you if you used something like gears for wheels, but then I remembered a team (308) last year did use gears for wheels. See the picture below. Basically you would need to test it and see if it damages the carpet. I don't think FIRST would DQ you just for using gears, but they will definetly test to see if they damage the carpet.

: : Any other ideas to get more traction would be appreciated too!

: There have been to recent discussions that I can remember about what you can do to gain traction.
