Yes. A zip tie is a functional, legal Robot component and can be used to contact the Ladder to meet that criteria of the Autonomous Win Point. All zip ties must be either official VEX components or legal replacements that meet the criteria of clause J of rule <R8>, and must fit within the size limits of <SG1>, <SG2>, and <SG3>.
