can you imagine four bots doing that at the start of a match, in auton mode, when the drivers cant do anything to avoid entanglement?
The wire is surrounded by metal. A robot would simply roll over the tether cable like a minor speedbump.

Perhaps the tether could be retracted at the end of autonomous mode, or early into the round, once its purpose has been served?
