Had the GDC elected to provide a rope with a more reasonable diameter, I would be fine with everyone having to use the Field provided ropes. But as it stands, each of the Field ropes could hold the weight of every robot at the competition at once. I imagine we'll see quite a few bots fail to climb this year cause their winch doesn't have enough torque after their effective spool diameter goes from 1" to 4".
