Electrical Tape?

[MPG]

I know that in previous years you wer not allowed to use any tape except electrical tape but you could only use the electrical tape for insulation purposes and nothing else

Going through the parts use flowchart it seems tape is legal this year. Wierd....does that mean teams can actually use the "fix all" duct tape this year?

And do previous years' rules apply this year? Nope. Not unless they are quoted word for word in this year's manual.

I am so putting a random strip of ductape on our robot this year now that its legal.

Technically, you could have had duct tape on your robot in the past if it was only for decoration purposes.

we used silver tape on our loading system where we had a really thin and sharp piece of aluminum flashing, just to cover the corners and edges

In previous years we have used colored electrical tape to outline the cutout in the lexan for our emergency off switch. Check the Q&A for a definitive answer.
