Lunacy Wheels Static Electricity

Hello Everybody, My Team hooked up a control system today on the kit base with the new plastic Lunacy wheels, and we noticed that if you drive the wheels on carpet and let them spin in place, the robot becomes a van de graff generator. If you touch it it will shock you! Several people tried to move the robot only to be shocked. I wonder if that will be an issue on the competition floor, or from the carpet on the field?
