A: Adhesive backed labels are not consided tape and good wiring practices would include clear labeling of all wire

[edit] Sorry, I misinterpreted that. If you were planning using the tape as a marker, like something to tell you how far an arm should go out on your robot, I would use paint or a paint marker to mark that[/edit]
As for hot glue ...
In the past, the only thing I've ever used hot glue for was to help how PWM cables in place (the darn things used to pull out so easily!!) I don't think it's illegal, but to be on the safe side I would use electrical tape. If you're worried about a connection pulling through, try getting some disconnects from Molex. They work really well, and I've hardly ever had them fail.
Good luck!
