Re: Universal items...which do you perfer?

One thing that zip ties have that duct tape doesn't--you can undo zip ties with no mess and have them usable again (provided you know how).

Zip ties.

Granted, at least half of our robot last year was zip ties. So much so that cutting a few off finally helped us make the weight limit.

Re: Universal items...which do you perfer?

i chose the zip ties because i think they look a lot neater than the duck tape. although if fruity pebble's is on your team i would use duck tape because it is more universal and if used properly it looks good

Zip ties, you can just do so much more with them, from attaching bumpers on cars (almost all the professional drifters use them) to even stiching up cracks on things
