Answered: Tether Bot Question

One of our local teams has a tetherbot backed by a soft mesh fabric. The tournament director ruled this as illegal for entanglement, due to it being in the way of allies. However, the fabric can simply be driven over, is this correct?

I posted photos below.

The photos show the robots very close together- the tether is less than the field length


There are no rules against entangling your own partner. (That being said, it’s not a very nice thing to do)
