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

• Velcro tape, any hook and loop tape or double-sided sticky foam may be used for attaching components to the ROBOT.

• Reflective tape may be used with optical sensors in small amounts.

• Adhesive backed tape and labels may be used for labeling purposes on wires, cables, pneumatic lines, etc.

• Electrical tape may be used as an electrical insulator.
