Rope - Multiple Loops

Based on

https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/148

Quote:
Question

Is there a prohibition from having multiple loops in a rope as long as the other rules are followed? If this is permissible, what about the diameter of the loops? The rule limits the total diameter to 10 inches. Does this mean 5 inches per loop if there are 2 loops, or can each be 10 inches?

Answer

There is no rule that prohibits multiple loops in the same ROPE. I04-G applies to the ROPE as a whole, not additive of each component or modification of the ROPE, thus I04-G defines the maximum diameter of a loop.

Question

Is a splice considered a knot for the purposes of altering the rope?

Answer

No, a splice is not a knot. Splicing is defined as "join or connect (a rope or ropes) by interweaving the strands." Thus, a spliced ROPE does consist of fibers woven together (per I04-D), but would need to satisfy the 1 in. maximum width specified in I04-A
Do you interpret this to allow multiple loops at the end of the rope (see attached sketch)? I would love a larget target to hit (yes I realize spooling up these extra loops or a large knot could be a pain)

Thanks!

Re: Rope - Multiple Loops

I don't think multiple loops of the SAME rope, no splicing, would be an issue. As long as you do not violate:

G. if knotted or looped, the total diameter does not exceed 10 in. (~25 cm) (D)
