Would you say that is an accurate statement, or did you use it in place of duct tape or other after fabrication fasteners?

We use double-sided tape to secure electronics much of the time, and we got ahold of a few different kinds of VHB tape this year. The one used in the below picture wasn't the type composed of foam, it's extremely thin and transparent. I haven't found a link to it yet.



The Crio was taped to the crossbar on the underside of the robot. The bar was pocketed and the remaining material was only slightly narrower than the width of the tape (about 3/4 of an inch). If you look at the pattern visible beside the Crio, you can probably estimate the total amount of tape we used. In our testing before the final mounting, it took a significant amount of force to break the bond even without even scuffing the anodized finish of the bar. It gave us no problems through the entirety of the season and the weekend in New Hampshire.
