They do not specify exactly what kind of rope there is. As far as I checked, they don’t say anything about what kind of rope is legal. Also, this is a Faq page, without the question I am looking for. I am looking for the rope, not the tether.
Thanks! This makes a lot of sense now!

Hello there, this is a student from Rolling Robots,
We looked at your robot and we are very interested and intrigued by your robot design. We think your robot could be incredible for this year’s game. Can you send us some pictures of your wall expansion system?
Thank you for your help and giving us your time, and we greatly appreciate your help.

I’m pretty sure the robot has since been disassembled. Feel free to try and come up with your own unique ideas for the endgame and build/test your own mechanisms.
