Getting an unobstructed view of that much carpet beneath your robot seems like it would be a challenge, assuming you can even reliably track displacements that large using the texture of the carpet.

As an alternative method: what's the average height of a ceiling at a typical venue? The truss structures I've seen in most gymnasiums might impact an optical flow approach, but it may work better than the carpet.
