Tethering without being entanglement

FIRST General Forum

A rookie team question. Does anyone have a good way of tethering a mousebot without it being a source of entanglement. Also, I couldn’t tell if tethering is even going to be allowed this year.

Nelson,
There is no way I know of. Even under the entanglement rules last year, a lot of remotes were allowed by judges that had potential for entanglement. With the grates this year, I would say it is pretty risky to design remotes.
