Or (I just noticed the pneumatics) perhaps you can lift the strafe wheels completely off the carpet for tank-mode driving?

Yes we can lift the drive as needed. We went this route for two reasons... The one you mentioned about tank drive, and the other so there would be no issues driving over the scoring platforms.
