i s'pose thats a rhetorical question...

on a well designed robot, good traction doesn't just mean better pushing force, it also means faster acceleration, deceleration, and sharper turns (less time spent slipping wheels during the beginning of sudden velocity/direction changes).

so no, this game isn't all about traction, but traction won't be trivial, either.
