And you probably should have been given a "non-inspected robot" penalty, if that picture is from qualifications or eliminations. Sound harsh? Yep, it does. I know, I was on a ref crew that told a team to remove their tethered ramp because it hadn't been inspected, and they admitted that fact to us when we asked. (They didn't get the penalty because they were able to get back to "inspected" without incurring a "delay of match"-by untying the string.) Trust me, I'm saying this so you don't hear it at your next event.

The only reason that I know that that particular ramp is yours is because you said it is. The refs on the field might see the tether. But if multiple robots on the field have those things... Please reference the Blue Box in R02, as modified by the 2/17 Team Update, and fix the lack of numbers on the ramp when you get the chance. Your referees and inspectors will thank you.
