Re: Duct Tape 2011

The "no tape" rule was dumb, but I'd like to see a return of the "no duct tape" rule. It's just a sloppy construction method and makes for a rather poor looking finished product. Thankfully I haven't seen too many teams duct tape their robots together, but it does show up now and then. Remember folks, we're building robots, not duct work systems.
