I cannot stress the bolded part enough... We ran into some trouble with ripping the carpet in Indiana last year (with a screw that was uncovered... we would've covered it but it took us like 4 matches to figure out what was ripping the carpet). Anyway, at least in IN and like it said in the rules, if you rip the carpet (even after you free yourself from it, you will get disabled for the remainder of the match. It isn't fun. I'd recommend having some clearance just in case and having something like a pool noodle or cloth in contact with the carpet if you are moving with this mechanism on the ground.
