Well, as most of these people have been saying, as long as you don't damage the carpet in any way, then your machined wheels should be fine. To help a little, try to think of other materials that have a large coefficient of friction with carpet. Certain other teams last year filed grooves onto their skyway wheelchair wheels to add traction. But, all suggestions aside, I think you have a very good idea there.
