If the "tape" were something like roll roofing or heavy sandpaper (a rough surface) and an 'external' adhesive (or foam tape or velcro!) were used to attach this rough surface to the robot, it appears it would be legal. You might be bale to get away with traction tape (the kind used on stairs for safety) but that needs to be asked on Q&A.

I like the carpet idea.

I think we're going with some antislip paint/epoxy coating from McMaster or somewhere. A little pricier than tape or drawer liner, but loads more durable and with better coverage. Plus it comes in lots of colors. (4)
