We built our first real robot cart this year and it does have pegs to lift the wheels but I still want to put it on the floor to test some things.
I don't think people have any problem with other functions being tested while the robot's on the floor (i.e. no one's getting mad at us for running our elevator when the robot's on the floor). The problem is robots driving when they're on the floor.
