it makes me sick to see how much this is becoming a problem this year. Seems like it would have been a heckuva lot easier if FIRST just disallowed tether devices all together. This is coming from a team who spent hours agonizing over what sort of device would not be called an entanglement hazard, only to see the very ideas we nixed in our design meetings being used in competition without the judges even questioning! Anywho, our device might not even be on the robot when it comes to inspection, if we can't get a couple more pounds off
. But i am looking forward very much to seeing how tethers get treated at nationals.
See y'all then
