possible solution to the static problem

As seen in last weekend's regional competitions the electro-static discharge caused by the rover wheels and the floor can fry speed controllers, driver stations, and even knock the field systems out of whack.

It could be possible that anti-static spray could be used on your drive wheels and control board to prevent any catastrophic discharge. Plus the spray is pretty cheap and can be picked up at almost any office supply store for around $3-4, you can also buy industrial-strength spray from McMaster-Carr for $11.57 for a 11.5oz can (part # 6038T11)

Any thoughts?
