Re: String Theory: <G22> at the Championships

Hmm... this seems similar to the zip-ties used in 2005 in order for the robot to be in contact with the loading zone plate, because clearly straddling the plate was not enough. Three years, and we're still improvising to make up for a lack of common sense in the rules. However, this is tangent to the topic.

The string could be an entanglement hazard with other robot's wheels and be a nuisance overall. Great creativity though!
