Note that electrical tape may be used only to insulate electronics -- not for anything else.

<R14> Electrical tape may only be used as an electrical insulator. Velcro tape or double-sided sticky foam may be used for attaching components to the robot. Adhesive-backed cable mounts may be used. Small amounts of reflective tape may be used for counting wheel revolutions. Adhesive backed labels may be used for labeling purposes. No other adhesive backed tapes are allowed.

Disallowing certain common materials is part of the challenge!! Not having a weight, size or time requirement would "help" a lot of teams too, but it would sure take away from the challenge of the competition!
