For .3lb you get about 40ft of tether. paracord is also dirt cheap and comes in bright colors.
We used paracord initially but it would catch the bolt heads for the mecanum wheels and wind up around the spacer and slow one side. This issue happed last year when our elastic tubing broke and did the same thing.
