I've always thought FIRST should have better rules regarding tape. I liked the one year where the rule was it could not be used as a structural fastener. But I think this year's tape rules are just too limiting. I understand that FIRST wants to see professional grade robots but there are several good uses of tape that I would see as illegal based on this year's rule. Examples - protecting sharp edges of metal, making tires slippery, covering bearings so carpet fibers and debris do not fall inside.
