Chuck,
I read it just as it sits. Double sided "foam" tape is allowable. There are a variety of products that have varying thickness of foam that have excellent adhesive properties used in production all the time. Many are available at hardware stores and even sewing stores and craft shops. What will come into play is how it is used. This will be a decision each inspector must rule on. I would not allow double stickie tape to be used to mount up a motor or bumper, but might expect it for attaching teflon sheet to a frame member to keep the balls from sticking to the surface. This rule remains unchanged from 2005 but did not exist in 2004. It stems from Woodie and Dean's belief that no matter what, good engineering practice does not allow duct, masking or even electrical tape to be used to hold anything on to the robot.
