How did the tethered bots get by this?

Ours had an active tether - more of an obstacle than the ramp tethers. We tell the inspectors that our robot and tether play alone in 1/8 of the field. And our robot had fenders to keep the tether from entangling. Inspectors at 3 regionals and champs didn't question us further.
We also had a ramp for alliance members to use. In our case that was a tether ran along the wall between two pieces (ramp and stacking cube) that did not move - again no problem.
