And with monofilament, by the time it is large enough to be visible, it does not lay flat on the carpet. This makes monofilament an entanglement hazard for rubber wheels as well.

And this is also why I do not expect to see tethers in play again, until/unless we have another "Step" game, in which the alliances must occupy different spaces, or at least have large exclusive zones from which they can effectively play the game. This year you can only be an entanglement hazard to your own alliance.
