Yes, wire ties attached to the wheels would be considered hard plastic cleats. The problem is that we have seen these systems used before and we have seen them damage the carpet. I question how effective this system would be on the wire mesh or the HDPE.

Sorry to bring bad news, but we wanted to do this to our wheels also. Had to come up with an alternative.

Wow! Thanks for the warning. I am glad that we didn't find that out in Phoenix, but I certainly wish we had known about it earlier. I guess that some of the answers to questions do not come out in the updates, contrary to my understanding.

We will have to review all the questions and answers on the FIRST Forum.

In the meantime, does anyone have any ideas on what we could use to reduce our side friction instead of cable ties? We pop fuses like mad without them.
