Re: Frictionless tape.

UHMW Polyethylene tape is possibly a better choice then PTFE for a lot of FIRST applications. It's more abrasion resistant and generally tougher. It's not quite as slick, but it'll retain it's properties under harsh or less then ideal conditions. It's also pretty cheap.

Mcmaster has a wide variety of it. I'm a fan of the 3M VHB adhesive backed stuff. They aren't kidding when they call it Very High Bond; it sticks to everything and stays there.
