That is true, and I expect a lot of robots to incorporate this kind of thing into their designs. Without direction, it seems having a ball consistently land in a place close enough to a robot that it would not need to move in order to score would be impossible.
The "metal on carpet" was referring to locking into the carpet.
As Shakespeare once said in Julius Caeser, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once."
