Just like the mousebots last year, many teams were upset by their use because they didn't build one because they interpreted the rules differently. Only a few teams made "LEGAL" tether's, most had a high chance of entanglement but were still given the OK.
I agree. Last year we had a nice design where a big piece of plastic that would be hard to run over and get entangled on would fall out, and more would flip out from the inside of that and so on untill we are in the scoring zone. But then we go to VCU and we find people who have wire shooting from their bot and then a robot PURPOSFULLY push a goal on our teather, now that ticks me off.
