We had the pleasure of playing against 25 this past weekend, and their net is actually really, really well thought out when looking at the entanglement risk. I'm not sure if they were hassled by the refs or inspectors at all, but I wasn't the least bit worried about getting stuck in their net. In the starting configuration, and pretty much any time when they're not catching, the net stores well inside the frame perimeter and is pretty tight and out of the way. Once the net is out, it's pretty high off the ground, meaning that a lot of robots actually can go right under it.

I'll admit that I was skeptical of this robot at the beginning, but it's starting to grow on me.
