Couple sides to this issue:

1. like FIRST has been saying all along: If it presents a risk of entanglement, then it presents a risk of entanglement and isn't legal.

2. It doesn't sound like your 'bot had any risk of entanglement about it.

3. If a 'bot gets tangled, then it's tangled. If they can do it by will, then you have to assume that it's possible they could do it with out meaning to. A risk is a risk is a risk is a risk. Just like most forms of teathers deployed at the last second probably wouldn't be a risk, FIRST doesn't seem to care. If the risk is there, even the risk of a team meaning to get entangled, then it's not going to pass inspection or will get DQ till the risk is gone. But again, a lot of this is subjective. It's up to the refs and judges and their all diffrent. If a team did get stuck on your scoop, then it would probably attract attention. Would it get you DQ? Maybe not, it all depends on the refs call. If it happend more then once, then your going to attract a lot of attention.

But it doesn't sound like thats going to happen to you.
