Yes, but it is often a manufacturing problem with the floor, rather than the robot. This year, as with many, it's a manufacturing design. There are these things called scoring platforms that disrupt the planarity of the field. Even in that lovely land of theory where everything works, this will result in one or more wheels becoming airborne when the robot meets one at an oblique angle.
