I'd like to know where the use of grip tape is prohibited in the rules.

Unless, of course, you mean the Minibot.

With most of the FRC rules, if it isn't disallowed, it's allowed. Minibot rules, motor rules, control system rules and pneumatics rules are the main exceptions that I can think of quickly.

The only thing I have ever heard refered to as "grip tape" is the sandpaper like matierial on the top of skateboards. No way that has a radius small enough to make contact with a tube if that is what you were thinking.

I believe there thinking of a material more like the grip on a tennis racket which would grab the tube nicely.
