Is this wall(https://www.instagram.com/p/B4PyG5_hYjy/?igshid=1i55mddpoghzc) legal it’s gonna be attached via a string and if a bot gets tangled in it is it against any entanglement rules or trapping rules
I cant speak for entanglement but just keep in mind that your wall would be inside the protected zone in the large goal zone, which you can’t do.

A few rule concerns here:
- R3 - The following types of mechanisms and components are NOT allowed:
c: Those that pose an unnecessary risk of Entanglement. - G12 - Strategies aimed solely at the destruction, damage, tipping over, or Entanglement of opposing Robots are not part of the ethos of the VEX Robotics Competition and are not allowed.
- Note: A Robot which has expanded horizontally in an effort to obstruct the field, or is legally
covering the top of a Tower in a solely defensive manner, should expect vigorous interactions
from opponent Robots. Damage that is caused by opponent Robots pushing, tipping, or Entangling with them would not be considered a violation of G12
I have never cared for the “using string as a tether” concept but you would have to ask the GDC Q&A to rule on that.
