As for what you are saying about brake mode: it is not that strong. It does provide some resistance to motion, but not alot. Brake mode seems good for allowing the robot to stop on a dime, and also for helping to keep an arm stationary. Break mode may not help much in a pushing match.

The 2nd half of my post was a generic address to the topic as well, not specifically at you (just the initial traction comment). But the brake mode works very well from what I have heard (and determined playing against it) during pushing matches. I don't believe that 116 has ever implemented it though, so perhaps there are quirks that I didn't know.
Regardless, a vast majority of pushing in FIRST does occur rotationally though.
The shirts. The buttons. The capes. That feeling you get when you first glimpse the arena and all the empty pits, and the only thing is promise. When the last bit of confetti has fallen, and nobody leaves the field.
