The ability to withstand a pull without breaking is not an issue for something like a passive tether/leash. Getting cut is what I'd worry about. A piece of material that's less than a millimeter thick seems likely to be easily damaged by robot wheels and gearboxes.

Eric's caution appears sound to me. I agree with the basic idea that you should also avoid making it difficult for people to see that you are following the rules, and a .035 wide line is going to be difficult to see.

For one thing, a tote stack in autonomous only counts if it is not in contact with a robot.
