Frankly, you are part of the problem.

Calm down, they are just trying to help. The idea is that it *could* be interpreted that way. If you have two options, one that could be ruled in such a way that you do not get the points and the other where there is no question, you should go for the option where there is no question. In the end it is completely your and your team's choice. The people here are just giving you their opinion and some simple justifications for it.
I am not so worried about the Refs saying the tether is supporting the totes, but of entanglement. I know that these thin very flexible lines have a good chance of getting caught in the rollers on mecanum and omni wheels. There would have to be a lot of testing done before we were to put anything that might pose an entanglement hazard to another robot on our alliance on the field.
