It's not like anyone is suggesting using the hot glue to make a watertight connection around the entire connector.
That said, it's still glue, and gluing a speed controller has been explicitly forbidden by the rules.

I've always consider hot glue to be okay. Similar to the adhesive on velcro is that still allowed? I have also seen teams use clear nail polish to hold PWM cables into speed controllers would that also be illegal?
