Re: Best Stopper Knots for Team Supplied Knots

Is anyone considering using eye splices in the ends of the rope? Could an eye splice be used as the retention feature. It could go over the davet fingers and would not slip. I was also planning on putting an eye splice in the robot end of the rope since it would be the least amount of extra material and have the lowest profile when wrapping around the winch.

I am also perplexed why they chose to use a stopper know as the means of securing the line to the airship. These seam line the most likely to fail. Using a loop would be much more secure.
