Re: Can you begin the game with a tensioned rope/string?
I think its pretty clear. Energy can be stored on the robot by deformation of parts, like you said with tubing, rope, springs, etc. Regardless of the wording of the rule, people have been using tensioned items to store energy at match start for years and the rule hasn't changed.
To answer your question: Is a tensioned rope the same as tensioned tubing or spring? Yes, it is. The rule states nothing of your "usage" of said energy or why its there.
