R201 *No digging into carpet. Traction devices must not have surface features that could damage the ARENA (e.g. metal, sandpaper, inflexible studs, cleats, hook-loop fasteners or similar attachments). Traction devices include all parts of the ROBOT that are designed to transmit any propulsive and/or braking forces between the ROBOT and FIELD carpet.
