I think literal interpretation of the rules would not allow them.

Other thoughts?

Joe J.
It is my opinion that the judges/refs/inspectors at each of the competition sites will interpret this rule differently. If the intention of the fastening device is to gain traction (say by backing the screws up a little so they stick out beyond the tread, or if washers or wire ties are perpendicular to the forward motion of the robot in order to 'dig-in' to the carpet), then they would make you change it.. without a doubt. But if you just need something that will fasten the tread to wheels, I think it will be okay as long as an effort is made to preserve the carpet.
