Of course, the way to deal with that is to build a cart such that the wheels don't touch anything solid. (Highly recomended.)

IMHO, the minor convenience afforded by being off the tether is offset by the technical complexity of such a system. The fields last year had enough issues without the pits (the Ypsilanti regional comes to mind). Even with Hatch Technologies out of the picture (IIRC), I think the entire control system needs less complexity, not more.
