Glue?

[Goldeye]

All forms of glue that don't pose a field contamination or other safety risk should be fine. If there are such risks while you apply it, that's fine, so long as the it's gone before it's on the field and you don't do anything dangerous in the pits.

(Hot glue, epoxy, wood glues, rubber cements are all good.)

Glues are legal. 675 uses glue (and poprivets) to hold the tread on our wheels, and we're using glue to hold in some of the fans on the Vic's. We've also passed inspection with the glue on there at the SVR.

As long as you aren't taking advantage of adhesive properties of semi-dried glues for playing (for example, extra grip) then it's okay.

HINT: I have recently discovered that Crazy Glue (or any other cyanoacrylate) will harden instantly in the presence of water. This is one of the greatest tips I have ever known, as it allows me to make all kinds of emergency repairs. Best so far: quick threadlocker.

Water kicks over cyanoacrylate very quickly but weakens the bond strength. This is because all cyanoacrylates are hydroscopic (break down in the presence of water during the cure process). As long as you are OK with the derated bond strength, then go ahead and use water as a accellerator.

I would think glue is OK, seeing that the BaneBots encoder kits tell you to glue, yes, GLUE, the encoder wheel to the shaft

Mhmmmm....

We once used an expanding polyurethane construction adhesive to make a flat mounting base for the old drill motors in the portable drill shell. Great stuff. PL brand Polyurethane Premium Construction adhesive in the yellow, red and black tube. They have several kinds, but this one is rated for all kinds of materials. I get it at Lowe's, I think. We didn't glue down the motor, just used the stuff as a bedding compound.
