Re: Velcro on rope?

My question is couldn't someone just braid, mesh or tie a rope of less than 1 inch out of yarn that would be strong enough to support a robot, and still use the "hook Portion" of the Velcro on the robots spooling mechanism? I feel like that would be really easy to create, and still have the "Velcro" properties that everyone is trying to achieve.

There is currently nothing in the rules or Q&A that is preventing that.

Section 9 Inspection? I think they're still on V1. They are crazy software people who start with V0, and TU1 didn't change Section 9 (so only one update in TU2, so V0-->V1).

Like melting the end of a nylon rope into a hook.

Re: Velcro on rope?

I think this was the right decision.

Would you rather an Frc game where 50% of teams can climb or 20%.

Although I still think the bring your own rope concept sorta killed the climbing aspect of this game.

Re: Velcro on rope?

So my reading of the update is that I can sew a strip of Velcro the whole length of the rope (one inch webbing for us) or the last couple of inches its our choice?

Re: Velcro on rope?

Is it just me, or did the additions to rule I04 D and E (about the binder coat exception and the Retaining Feature not extending over 2 inches below the Davit fingers) added in Team Update 5 never get actually added to the Game Manual itself?

I am not sure that you answered my question or got stuck on semantics of me calling something by a brand name.

My post was not very serious. I was referencing the chute door meme in 2015. You can put your velcro anywhere you want below the davit basically(edit:Except the bottom 4 inches). It could even be multiple pieces.
