May I suggest that you replace it with clear tape. Same concept, but easy to see if the switches are in the right position.

We will not be using any out of general principal. We just don't want it on our bot. Also because we found out about it so late that our bot was already packed up and ready to go. Ohh well. I'm going to laugh if a team that isn't ready for a practice match shows up with a ball of wires and duct tape and calls it a prototype...

We may have a small piece holding a small piece of PVC in place, but I don't think so. If I have my way, I, the programmer, will grab a drill, a bolt, and a nut and that sucker will be permanently mounted.

I hope really badly that our team does not use any (and I don't think we are, but I can't quite remember) because it does NOT look very professional, and our robot needs all the help it can get. We may end up adding some of the plexiglass holding our electronics together shatters.

Whe use Duct tape for our test robot. But NEVER on the real robot as it really does look unprofesional and redneck.

Most of the "nerds" in our school are part of a duct tape cult. Needless to say, at some points during prototyping, entire designs were held together by duct tape.

We've since replaced almost everything with "real fasteners," but duct tape is still used to hold our foam on our rollers, since we couldn't find anything that worked quite as well.

Of course, I can see it now, something is gonna break and when the drivers get it back to the pit out comes the Duct Tape. I don't see why there was a rule in years past, it takes some serious skill to make a quick fix with duct tape that actually holds...

Plus duct tape works great for making sharp corners not hurt...

Velcro, maybe?
