Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
I am confident that at least 1 team will get past quals without one.

Probably you're right. But not many.

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
What is still not clear to me is whether there is plain "velcro" strapping that can hold 130+ lbs. If not, it is not clear is sewing velcro onto a nylon strap would be legal.

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
The rope does not need to be constructed of a uniform material. The material used do not need to be the full length of the rope.

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
If you don't want to make the argument that sewing isn't a form of weaving, can you not think of a way to braid or weave or knot it into/onto a strap?

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
The Velcro website uses the word woven in their product description.... https://www.velcro.com/business/products/textile-hook-and-loop My team is going to use this as justification if necessary.

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
So am I the only one who even after this blog post and Team Update 2 still cannot tell if and under what circumstances velcro is legal to use on a rope?

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
Would it be legal to sew some Velcro onto the rope that is hook on the inside and loop on the outside? Might we have to file off the hooks?

Re: [FRC Blog] Questions That Need Answering
Hooks might be ok, too. According to this, the hooks on 3M's hook and loop with a plain back (no adhesive) are made from woven nylon or woven polyester. Product numbers SJ3401, SJ3402, SJ3476, SJ3477.
