Re: Hot Glue/Electrical Tape
This year (and last year) materials are legal unless specifically made illegal. Thus, heat shrink tubing is legal.
As far as hot glue as an insulator, it does act as one, but isn't sold as such, thus I doubt it would qualify as "properly insulated". However, if you were to hot glue the battery terminals, and then wrap in electrical tape, I beleive that would be acceptable.
Tape is only allowed as an electrical insulator or reflective tape used for an encoder (See the Q/A for the reflective tape). However going back to the fact that things are legal unless made illegal, paint would be legal for the same purpose. However, if you use more then $1 worth, it must be accounted for in your BOM.
