Re: Best Velcro

My reading of the rule is that the loop fastener (ignoring the hook part) has to be composed entirely of woven or twisted fibers.

Every piece of loop fastener I've seen has been glued or fused on the back to hold it together which I'd think would make it non-compliant.

So with that particular material, can the individual fibers be unwoven?

If not, how does it meet the FRC Steamworks definition of a rope?

I'd hate to see teams show up at events with climbers that depend on non-compliant ropes.
