My lead mentor on my team has discussed with my team that the pool noodles are not allowed to be attached to the plywood backing with duct tape this year. I am confused by this, because I see no explicit rule saying that duct tape is not allowed this year. My question is, how are teams supposed to attach the pool noodles to the backing this year, and is it true that duct tape is no longer allowed?
