All you had to do was push from the side or back. Pushed into the field side, they were not able to maneuver. File cards can't steer. 111 managed to do exactly that in Chicago but lost the match when our human player gave them additional points in the heat of the match.
Although the file cards did fluff up the carpet a little, it was the cleats and other anchor devices that teams used that penetrated the carpet and damaged the floor beneath. One such incident damaged a newly painted basketball court as I remember. There was a team that actually used circular saw blades for wheels one year.
