Ah, good catch Bob.

That is basically just traction tape, or anti-slip safety tape. It has a rough, rubberized surface, with a texture much like sprayed in truck bed liner. It is pliable enough to not mar the Frisbee's surface and prevents it from sliding on the polycarbonate. We had applied it the previous night, but it was applied after we had stopped recording.
I'll edit the post to include it as a change.
