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...

The chain, however, wouldn't be a 'traction device' and ought to be legal.
Right now, though, my biggest fear is that the inspectors (made up of students and other volunteers) won't be clear on the rules and give teams an undue hard time. I know that, just from reading these boards, many, many teams simply don't know the rules.
This concerns me as well, as I'm fairly certain we're using the same materials as 45 on our wheels, though in smaller quantity.
