Carpet Damage...
One thing to keep in mind...a DQ can only be applied if "intentional" carpet damage occurred. As we've seen through various discussions here, intent is very hard to determine. So, by the rules, the only other ruling regarding carpet damage is that the team causing the damage may be disabled, as well as forced to take corrective action before being able to compete again. And this is only, of course, if a referee is able to see which robot is causing the damage, and if they determine that it would happen again in normal machine operation...
