Re: Grip Tape

According to the rules yes it would seem to disallow the use of grip tape. However in certain situations usually at competitions I know my team has been allowed to use tapes as long as its not being used for its adhesive property. Specifically we've used tapes to cover over holes that could be dangerous for human hands and to coat wheels that had gotten too sticky. These had been approved by an inspector or okayed by him first though. It might be worth a Q&A if only because the intent of the rule isn't to disallow things like grip tape. If they don't allow it, there are lots of paint on things that can make a surface just like grip tape.
