In eliminations it has been tethered to 1547. Before the first final you could see a member of 1114 set up the ramp then lay out a cord of some sort along the back wall, then the 1547 drivers connected a cord /cable from their bot to the one 1114 ran. Not a bad strategy, assuming 1547 was under weight.

I posted in the regional thread as well, but the other alliance having a team disabled in the finals for not being brought on field in the transport configuration made me wonder how this strategy is legal. 1114 clearly carried the ramp on the field independent from any robot, and then connected it to the 1547 bot once on the field. Doesn't this violate the transport configuration rules?
