To clear up a couple questions....
Small Parts DOES in fact carry tape measures, so on those grounds, they are legal.
Our team (192) had several issues that we discussed as to whether or not we wanted a tape measure, and while our respect was definitely one of them, another one was the reaction of our extension group. We had 5 or 6 guys working for about five and a half weeks trying to make SURE we had a "tether" which would not and could not entangle other robots (we did extensive testing with our robot from last year), and the tape measure idea DID come up, and was designed and built within the first week. However, we vetoed the idea when it was disallowed as of the yahoo group. It's been kind of a touchy point, ever since we saw teams using methods which we had assumed were illegal.
