No, ancoring with file cards would be better.

Beatty would most likely be dq'ed for tearing the carpet. It would take a lot of force to move a bot with file cards and I'm sure they'd eventually slip.
Just anchoring with file cards is probably not enough. 330 had 5 or 6 at the bottom of thier planting device, but 469 was still able to move them (although not easily by any means). At the end of the match, the file cards were a complete wreck, but there was hardly any (if any) carpet damage.
