Go to Post I've always believed that being who I was will not limit me to who I will be. That's what keeps me trying to learn more and become a better person. Otherwise I would've settled being someone ordinary and not care about anything around my life. - Ken Leung [more]

FIRST also allows teams to fabricate their own ropes (emphasis on the PLURALITY of ropes that teams are allowed to bring to competition and have inspected), as well as share. Getting a single rope of the many ropes teams are allowed to bring to pass inspections isn't a requirement for teams to compete. There isn't a requirement that the ropes be identical either. There is no requirement that a rope contains a component of hook and loop fastener either.

The rule is pretty clear on characteristics of materials that are allowed in a rope, as well as how teams can fabricate their rope. Any team that shows up to an event with a rope containing illegal materials, and I'm certain there will be multiple of teams there to help them fabricate a legal rope or loan them a spare.
That it will likely be possible to work around the badness of the rule does not make the rule not bad.
