[BB] The wooden beams have started creaking

The carpet tape is also used to repair holes that robots inflict upon the carpet. By the end of Archimedes in 2010 almost a fourth of the floor had tape on it because robots are surprisingly good at tearing through it.

I am going to go ahead and say I don't think its a water game. We are Beta Testing the Kinect and somehow I don't think you could do those gestures very well while submerged in water..

That's it! The humans are in the water, the robots are on the field. Solves all (well...) the electronics problems. Start recruiting on your swim team, folks!

Perfect timing! 256 was going to make a new cart this year anyways, so we now might as well beef it up with our team name, number, etc, and make it so that the robot doesn't fall off every time we turn!

Not that it particularly matters, but that's not quite accurate.

Carpet tape is solely used for attaching two pieces of carpet together. It contains an unmelted glue which is melted by a heated iron and then the two seams are pressed down on top of it.

Gaffers tape (which you are referring to) is used to patch holes in the carpet, lay down lines on the field, etc.
