If that stuff isn't tape, what is it and what is it's purpose? I am just a rookie, after all.
Those are zip tie mounting bases. They are plastic with an adhesive backing and the top have 4 openings so you can secure 2 zip ties to them. They are avaliable at virtually any hardware store in the section with the zip ties. Here's a company that sells them online that shows a good picture.

EDIT: One also appears in Emily's picture in front of the SPIKE on the first tier.
