Edit: come to think of it, you might not pass inspection with hot glued victors . . . .

Hot glue is legal, and has been used.

885 tried to use to to hold some bushings in plywood. It didn't work terribly well. The glue just didn't stick to the bushings, which given the oil impregnated in the bronze makes plenty of sense.

I know that hot glue is used a lot in consumer electronics as a way to insulate and hold connections, especially things like connectors and jumper wires. I don't think it has any real place on a FIRST robot, as there are stronger more reliable methods of doing anything that hot glue does, even if Martha Stuart swears by it.
