Re: Lenght of usable rope from scoring plate to end.

Approximately 20" estimated from these photos if they help visualize it at all:

You can see how the field rope knot will engage.

Note that the C-channel the rope lies in extends to the base of the touchpad and that the touchpad when pressed leaves the channel for the robot to possibly contend with if your hoist is at the tippy top of your robot.
