Re: Team Update 9
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Just about every team update now has had SOME update to I04... I'm just waiting for them to just say screw it on this whole "let's have teams use their own things on the field thing". Everybody has to use the field rope now, this was too difficult!
But anyway, a good challenge and interesting effort for teams. Maybe not an entirely well thought out effort, but at least a good one. |

Re: Team Update 9
It's not really a change. It's just something everyone assumed was legal that is now explicitly legal. If teams couldn't use rope that had been dyed, that limits teams severely - now it is in the rules just to be safe.
The rope rules aren't that big of a problem, really. We got most of it clarified fairly quickly. |

Re: Team Update 9
I agree. I used to *shudder* with what update the committee would come up with next in prior years.

Re: Team Update 9
It clarified that rope dyed by the manufacturer is ok. There is a Q&A that says a team cannot dye the rope.

Re: Team Update 9
Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. Forgot to clarify I meant COTS rope that had been dyed, which is most ropes.

Re: Team Update 9
I am now waiting for someone to suggest artificially bleaching the rope with high intensity UV.

Re: Team Update 9
We found some cheap stuff at Home Depot that was open box, had team colors, and was rated for 600 lbs. Good stuff.
