It's being used to sew kevlar strips together and onto the robot. Thanks! Otherwise,

We used string for our robot in 2002. It was legal then, so I assume it is legal now because they have lightened up on the materials we can use on our robots. Look at McMaster-Carr for string. I assume it will have it because they've got just about everything.
