Increasing traction by increasing friction will also increase power draw which is not a good thing (for obvious reasons).

http://mizugaki.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/st...F/EV_Trans.pdf This paper originally posted to CD by Tom Schindler may be interesting to some of you. It explains how to implement traction control on an electric vehicle.

increasing friction will increase the amount of power draw when the robot stalls. however that is not a bad thing, more grip = more pushing power. because the robots only run for 3 min at most, power draw, and efficiency dont really matter.
