Wheels contacting the ground

I was wondering if it is OK to have the wheels of the robot not contacting the ground.
In a game where both means of scoring rely on good, reliable positioning it might be advantageous to lift the robot onto braces, so it can't be knocked around, or slide.
Can't find any rules against it, so long as it does not damage the arena, or require insane power sources.
