I'm not sure what kind of duct tape you use but any kind I've ever seen would get ripped and peeled up. I do agree that we need something really new for a field. A lot have teams have mastered gaining traction on carpet. Some sort of dirt or sand would be cool but we would bring it back into the pits and it would get everywhere. Gravel would work. As for water, we would have to be required to have a sealed electronics box. This would be very time consuming to make and have access to. Also, teams and FIRST would get tired of constantly replacing electronics. As for surface, I have no idea; rubber tiles, shredded rubber, and gravel all sound good. I would like to see some more obstacles though like steep ramps or hills. Some sort of a pit like a shallow U. Some small stairs. Small drop offs. Possibly ramps that lead up to and down from a second level. Speed bumps. Or howabout moving parts of the field like an elevator or convayer belt. I would go for pretty much anything that would increase the funness of the game but not break adequetely built robots. This would make it hard for teams to host their own competitions off season though... That would have to be worked out.
