  • 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.
