I know that there are multiple teams and groups that follow the common practice of taping students in at night. This includes every school trip at my school district where students would be spending the night. There were certainly some exceptions on the robotics trips. For example drivers and scouts being taped in later on Friday nights once they got out of the pick meeting. But every student, regardless of years on the team, position on the team, or anything else, was taped in.

I know of a few teams that did not follow this practice, but after certain incidents they began and continue to follow this policy. I am in the general crowd of "Tape them in, if they follow curfew, they won't even know it's there." As long as the students are aware that they are being taped in, there should be no problems. If they need a mentor or chaperone they should be available by calling the chaperone's room.
