Q: Can the Floor-Board be used on carpet?
A: No. When the Wii balance board is used on carpet the additional leg supports must be added to be balance board which in turn raises the Floor-Board higher from the floor surface and may cause problems during the loading process. However if a commerical/industrail short cut pile carpet is in place and no other padding is used on the sub-floor, I have seen and used the Floor-Board on this type of carpet.
