Why is Simbotics not tethered to its ramp?

Is it legal not to be tethered to a ramp?
We did the same in our quarterfinals at waterloo - during eliminations, we had an alliance member assume our ramp tether (we were planning on adding an autonomous canburglar which would prevent the tethering, but didn't finish it in time).

You need to make sure the new ramp owner puts their team numbers on the ramp since it becomes part of their robot, and gets re-inspected for weight/transport config.

I will say it was wonderful to have the robot driving around without having to worry about the rope/tether.
