Balancing Pads

Our robot has three wheels this year and we've got a lot of tipping. We were wondering if the rules permitted a sort of low friction balancing pad to keep our robot from tipping over.

We have frame edges that touch the ground when it tips and with the balancing pad sitting slightly above the floor it will prevent the edges of the frame from destroying the field. We aren't looking for an advantage, just a way to keep our robot from causing destruction.
