Duct Tape: NASA approved restraint device
NASA has a detailed set of written procedures for dealing with a suicidal or psychotic astronaut in space. The
documents say the astronaut's crewmates should bind his/her wrists and ankles with duct tape, tie him/her down with a bungee cord and inject him/her with tranquilizers as necessary.

i'm pretty sure a robot cannot destroy the balls this badly. It is in the rules that if any robot is harmful towards game pieces or the arena, the team will be forced to make modifications

There appears to be no proscription on tape as a fastener to be found in the robot rules this year. Hard to believe...

That was exactly the point of the question.

Just a reminder that rules from prior years do not apply to this year's game. The rules do change, with both additions and deletions. We can't assume that because "it has always been that way" makes it true for this year.
