Some tethers were actually full-size robots that drove back to their home zone. This left goals vulnerable to being moved. Some were tape measures or similar devices that could be extended under power. (The "maybe" part.)
Others were dropped when the robot started moving at the beginning of the match, and stayed put. (The "no" part.)
And others were fully driveable, with directional control. (The "yes" part.)
However, it should be noted that the endgame was significant, but couldn't beat having a bunch of balls in a couple of goals held in your scoring area. And sometimes tethers were run over and damaged, or beaten around, or moved, by the larger robots.
