IMHO, if a team is planning to climb a rope, they will bring their own.

The general consensus seems to be to attach velcro to the rope. if you plan on doing that, make sure you read all the rules and Q&A.

Hah. If only it were that simple.

I would say that about half the teams out there that climb will be trying to climb the field ropes. Unfortunately, they'll tend to be the less-competitive teams. The more competitive teams will naturally have their own ropes, or multiple (identical?) ropes.


Anyways... I think the GDC made a slight mistake putting the rope in the Inspection section of the Manual. Shoulda been in Robot, maybe more people would be reading it. Be that as it may, OP, I recommend reading all of the Inspection section (Section 9) before Bag Day. You will probably find some stuff in there that you need to know, not just the rope rules. (Oh, and BTW: Please make sure you're reading the most current version. I04 has changed in almost every update this year.)
