The robot keeps leaving these skid marks 2m around base station

Floor is laminate. I’ve tried cleaning the floor with baking soda, IPA, multisurface cleaning spray. I’ve also tried cleaning the rubber wheels but it looks like after each vacuuming there are more skid marks.  
It is definitely not something it picks up in the kitchen as this is just near the home base and not the entire apartment.  
Any idea how to remove this marks and prevent this from happening?

I’ve added plastic “desk protector” under the vacuum. It left yellow marks on it also. Checked the wheels and there is nothing but some dust on them, nothing wet or oily. WTH is going on? Where does it come from???!
