Wayne Doenges has a reputation beyond repute

I concur with n[ate]vw about traction.
Last year we had awesome traction. We used conveyor belt material on 6" wide, 3" diameter cylinders. Our 35 pound base could pull me (205 lb) across the carpet with me laying on my side on the carpet. One problem though, it wouldn't turn worth a ..... well you know.
So you have to play a balancing game between traction and control.
Good luck this year.
