Unless the robot's design is meant to be dragged across the carpet, then under no definition of "traction" does the frame become a traction device. However, if the frame sits there during a match, is pushed and causes the carpet to rip then I think the refs will throw a yellow card.

'No wheels' is a perfectly good way to save weight for a flier. So is the properly-dimensioned 'L' shaped robot -- no bumpers needed on half of the robot, so the weight savings is a big plus. We hadn't thought of such a base until we saw it in Q&A.
