Worn wheels question...

So we have been practicing on our robot and some of the wheels have become worn by driving it around the school hallways. I'm sure we're not alone in this, but it does tend to give a bit of traction to the otherwise slick wheels. What is the policy where the wheels may be disqualified for tournament use? I have searched, but didn't find other threads pertaining to this subject. If you know the answer or have a link to an applicable thread I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

I do. Update #5 links to the following document, which tells you how to restore wheels: http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...d%20Wheels.pdf
