Our team is planning on attaching a dog leash to a CiMple gear box in order to make an optical encoder.
Yes, that's right, a retractable dog leash.
The Box allows us to attach the encoder onto the shaft with ease as well as gain the ability to measure the height of our tower. Our programmers are planning on using this on the code.

I was wondering about opinions on this, as well as legality? I can't imagine a standard, off the shelf dog leash being against the rules, and I know but you never know. Thank you!
