On the FIRST Q and A they stated that duct tape could not be used on the tires.

We had the same traction problem and at St Louis we put tie wraps covering the wheel. One of the other posts stated that they were not going to allow tie wraps at Nationals. What rule does it violate and why would they change at the Nationals. It does not make much difference to us since we are not going to Nationals unless we win at Palmetto.
