So although my fellow Canadians may strip me of my citizenship for letting out this little piece of information, nothing grips ice quite like broomball shoes. Bet you didn't even know broomball was a sport. (Well, aside from those of you in the other snowy bits of the world.) Mind you, from my experience a key aspect of broomball involves beverages that would be out of place at an FRC competition.... so my impression of the outstanding grip of broomball shoes may be... um... imprecise... at best.

Broomball... Like Curling?

Also, take some thick sheet metal, curv it around kitbot wheels, and sharpen them so that they are like ice blade "blades". Maybe even for braking you can make them slide sideways and kick up all that ice...

....except they would prolly go with HDPE
