Was it just a motor powering a roller that simply pulled the tape out? Cause we had the idea at the beginnning of the 6 weeks, then all the entanglement risks came out and we scraped it, then on the last day before shipping we made it just in case and we went to LI and Erick (THE FIRST RULE GUY), me, and 2 of our adult leaders had a long talk about its legality, and they said "We told 800 teams (or whatever #) that tape measures are illlegal, so sorry you can't use it." Then before we went to UTC FRC posted in here about it so we said "HOORAY!! NOW WE JUST HAVE TO FIND 2 POUNDS!!" so thursday we stayed until pits closed to take off weight, and we were soo happy when we did, "And there was much rejoicing" but it was definetly interesting to adapt the robot after the 6 weeks, instead of just doing repairs

as has been said many times "[Duplication] is the highest form of flattery"
