Did you ever do the little experiment is school where you rubbed a piece of plastic against another piece and then it would stick to your hand? Think the plastic bag used to cover dry cleaned clothing. I think it is the same thing. My theory is that the rubber tire is slipping (rubbing) on the carpet to generate the static and it is building up in the chassis including the wires of the electronics.
