Here's a picture of the robot holding a tetra with the arm fully extended. This is with no extra ballast weight in the back. With the arm in the up position fully extended, we could drive around all day with a tetra and not fall over.

As for the traction of the wheels, we had a 300lb-ish team member nealing on a chair with four small metal feet and the robot was able to fairly easily push the chair across the carpet (in low gear, of course).
