Judgement Call on specific part.

[Jon K.]

My first reaction would be no it's illegal but check with FIRST. Also look into other grippy materials like those no slip pads for cell phones or mousepad material or the no slip mesh that is used to line shelves especially for RV's.

[EricH]

My first reaction is illegal, but I'm pretty sure that's partly because this is the first suggestion of this type I've seen. The relevant rule is <R38>.

<R38> Adhesive backed tapes shall not be used as a structural fastener, or to connect two or more parts together. Adhesive backed tapes may only be used as follows:
 Textured or coated tapes may be used to provide an alternate surface finish or treatment to a portion of the ROBOT.
 Velcro tape, any hook and loop tape or double-sided sticky foam may be used for attaching components to the ROBOT.
 Reflective tape may be used with optical sensors in small amounts.
 Adhesive backed tape and labels may be used for labeling purposes on wires, cables, pneumatic lines, etc.
 Electrical tape may be used as an electrical insulator.

So it looks borderline.

<R06> also may be brought into play, but I don't know if it will be.

use an anti-skid pad like Jon said. The type that are under welcome mats and mattresses and such.
