PersonallY I forsee rules being added that will require teams to mark/label custom ropes and/or special labels being added to stock field ropes that teams cannot replicate.

Custom ropes already have a serialized inspection tag. Field ropes won't (probably)

FIRST is difficult and it is challenging, but you aren’t necessarily required to go off and build an 8 motor drivetrain and 4 motor / 8 pneumatic piston arm mechanism for the heck of it when a 2 motor non-shifting drivetrain and 2 motor arm does just as good a job. - Bill Gold [more]
