this is true, but I don't see anything on it not moving during the match, if you look at <G07>
"Center RACK position - After all six ROBOTS are in their starting positions and theDRIVERS, COACHES and HUMAN PLAYERS are in the ALLIANCE ZONE, the RACK willbe moved (translated and/or rotated) to an arbitrary position so that the center of the RACKis within a 3 foot radius of the playing field center but the exact location and orientation ofthe RACK is unpredictable. After this point in time no ROBOT may be moved or repositioned until the match starts."-from manual
Is there more that I haven't read the entire thing yet, but nothing states, that I have read, about it being bolted down. If it moves at the beginning of the match i wouldn't think it would, because then you would have holes in the field.
