He has said before that zip ties are not a structural fastener. That's what I told the team in Kokomo using them to hold on their hand-weight ballast. One student suggested that they could attach the weights with duct tape instead...
I did a quick tug test and didn't think they were a problem in that case, so I didn't ask an inspector to review it. In a more collision-prone game, I definitely would have done so.
