Also consider the flattened end of the wheel (opposite the "normal wheel" section) for a very high traction surface. In a competition where you want to stay in place and not be moved around easily, you turn your wheels 90 degrees, stop the motors, and turn your 'bot into a very nice little coffee table While the others are draining their batteries in a pushing match, you'd could be focusing on an entirely different aspect of the game.
