yes it is counted as attached. HOWEVER... i would not want to do that. I believe that it was back in 2002 many teams were making little "minibots" that were tethered to the "main robot" and would drive off into the home row just before the match ended. we happened to be one of the teams that did that. one team decided that they would purposely entangle themselves on our tether(no its true i'm not making stuff up), somehow it was considered our fault, and thus we didn't make it to the finals. So i leave you with my though on long tethers: bad idea.
