Rope exploit

I was interested by this year's rope rule of being able to supply their own rope and was wondering how other teams plan to make use of this?

Re: Rope exploit

Find a rope that is easy to grip, meets your needs, and isn't too expensive.

We're most likely going to use our own rope because we don't like the field rope.

Re: Rope exploit

We've tossed around using 3 strands of fishing line, braided to form a rope that meets the rope specs.

In theory it would work.

Re: Rope exploit

We are going to use a magic rope, with our Pilot being the Magician. The rope would coil around the robot and lift it.

Fly-Fisher is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Rope exploit

We will be bringing our own rope so after the match we do not have to remove robot from the rope but rather the rope from the ship.
