[FTC]: Question regarding materials on our FTC Robot

[Team 2844]

R5.c.33. (Regarding the tape)

The way you are using it right now is against the rules. I would suggest using a screw, ziptie, or something else to hold it in.

To avoid "material rules" issues with my team, here's the sequence of events I use when somone asks me whether they can use something:

Student: Can we use xxx on our robot?

Phil: Did it come in the kit of parts?

Student: Yes... Phil.. Well OK then.
Student: No.... Phil.. Well, No, unless you can show me in the rules where it says you can use it.

It's safest to assume you can't use something, rather than the other way around.

Monika,
I have to agree, c. 33 prevents the use of any tape except as listed in this rule.
