Abstract: Path algebras are a convenient way of describing decompositions of tensor powers of an object in a tensor category. If the category is braided, one obtains representations of the braid groups $B_n$ for all $ninN$. We say that such representations are rigid if they are determined by the path algebra and the representations of $B_2$. We show that besides the known classical cases also the braid representations for the path algebra for the 7-dimensional representation of $G_2$ satisfies the rigidity condition, provided $B_3$ generates $End(V^{otimes3})$. We obtain a complete classification of ribbon tensor categories with the fusion rules of $g(G_2)$ if this condition is satisfied.
