Re: <R35> - Adhesive Tape

I would suggest that you check into one or two part epoxy paints intended for use on garage floors. These floor epoxies have fine or course grained additives (sand, et cetera) which can be added to the paint before application. This treatment gives the paint a sandpaper texture which should be just as good as the non-slip tapes being discussed here and would be completely legal on a FIRST robot.

Another alternative is cloth backed sandpaper applied with an epoxy adhesive.

Rules are rules. Spend your time coming up with alternative solutions rather than complaining about rules you don't like.

JMHO...

Mike
