I think the dilemma comes not from whether the tape measure is illegal or not, but whether teams would not like it.

FIRST has really thrown a monkey wrench into this year's game by loosening the rules for tethers. Whether or not this is right is a topic that has already been discussed to much, and continuing the discussion won't do much good. The fact is that under the current set of rules, a tape measure tether is legal.

I guess I fall into your second category. I really wish that FIRST handled this better, but I have no problem with you implementing a tether under the current rules.
