This will allow the charge to dissipate without building up a large charge, which lowers the voltage = length of arc. Remember, for a robot of fixed capacitance, V varies as Q (Q=CV)

Wouldn't that violate that rule about no sharp edges on the robot?
I'm also guessing that adding a chain to the robot to discharge itself on the mesh (like trucks transporting flammable compounds) would violate the "no metal on carpet" rule.
I'm getting concerned about this, because we have a similar setup to the TechnoKats, with rubber treads...
