<R38> and adhesive backed tape in 2008

I thought I'd buck the trend a bit and cheer for a rule in the manual that doesn't seem to have received any attention yet. <R38> is the general prohibition against using tape as a structural element, but it looks like there's a new exception this year:

"Textured or coated tapes may be used to provide an alternate surface finish or treatment to a portion of the ROBOT."
