What about timing belt wrapped around a wheelchair wheel?

M17 Robot wheels, tracks and other parts intended to provide traction on the playing field (“traction devices”) may be purchased or fabricated. In no case, will traction devices
that damage the carpet or other playing surfaces be permitted. Traction devices may not have surface features such as metal or hard plastic studs, cleats or other attachments. The outer surface of off-the-shelf wheels may be modified by removing tread material only. In no case may a traction device protrude beyond the bottom surface of the Ramp mesh.

According to this rule above you can NOT add material to the outside of Off-the-shelf (aka Skyway) wheels only remove it.
So the answer is NO.
