I don't think your spandex like material is permitted, but like i said last night, I may be wrong.....I hust highly recomend replacing them
The material used is much better described as a heavyweight strong satin than a "spandex-like" material. There is no stretch to it at all. It is strong enough to hold substantial weight on a single staple and (to my knowledge) has never ripped during assembly nor any matches nor when people improper try to lift our robots by the bumpers. It resists everything but the sharpest scissors.

We could probably use 3 inch wide strip of it as a winch strap.
