Metal can touch the playing field surface.

*GASP*

I know, I know. It's shocking, but true.

Rule M17 is limited, exclusively, to 'traction devices'.

Robot arms or walls or other mechanisms are not traction devices. As such, should they contact the carpet, it's not in violation of rule M17. We should not and do not have to wrap out robots in protective plastic because of this rule.

So, with that said. . . why does it seem like everyone is misinterpreting this rule? Could it be they haven't read it? Or, maybe there's some other rule entirely that I've missed.
