What Al said !!

Adhesive fasteners and tape are being allowed this year. IF everyone uses these materials correctly then it could be assumed that they will likely be used in the future. IF people get silly and stupid and negatively impact this year then it is likely the tape rule return and we will all be the worse off for it.

I like the rule as it currently stands. There is something on our bot that simply could not be done better than with a 3" wide piece of vinyl tape.
