OK, so then we are already explicitly allowing wheels that damage carpet. (they practically all do). I frankly can't imagine that "industrial strength velcro" will do any additional damage to "industrial strength carpet"
Perhaps I can suggest, any team wanting to experiment with velcro treads should do a controlled experiment. Find a way to measure carpet damage, and measure the difference between velcro and HiGrip (or other treads) under identical circumstances. Bring the results to competition to show the judges. Use the power of science!
