Agreed, but I am trying to understand what IS allowed.
If I make a track with "hard" plastic "cleats" that are "attached" to a track then based on R08 they aren't allowed for 3 reasons.
Even if the tracks don't damage the field whatsoever.
Heck, wheels can burn a hole in the carpet more easily than a track but I don't see ambigous, generalized restrictions on wheels in the rules.
