I presume you're asking "does the whole rack assembly move?" and <G07> says that it can and will be moved, but I haven't found any information on how it is moved; I'm guessing it just slides on the carpet. For non-moveable field elements, FIRST usually attaches to the carpet with velcro on the underside (e.g. Triple Play goals), but that wouldn't work in this case since the Rack gets repositioned at the start of each match. If there isn't some way of attaching it to the carpet we can expect that it will get moved by robot contact during the competition, too.
