Are you using duct tape?

We have a little piece holding a bundle of wires down... sort of in between functional and aesthetic I guess. We did use a lot during helix prototyping, but that construction approach did not make the final cut.

We are mostly using ours for protecting the edges of some chicken wire.

we would have used som duct tape to protect the edges of some expanded sheet metal, but we had bored team members, and told them to split pneumatic tubing down the middle so we could slip it over the sharp sheet-metal edges.

Our first camera mount was made entirely out of duct tape, due to the fact that everyone working with the camera was a programmer and trying to build a decent mount was like watching paint dry compared to actually programming the camera. Our mechanical team has since replaced it with something more durable.

from the GDC:

We are anxious to see if tapes can/will be used in an aesthetically and structurally appropriate manner, without having myriad robots "held together with duct tape and baling wire" appear at the competitions.

No mention of bubble gum.....

Anyways, we have duct tape on top of our batteries, as labels, with Sharpie markings on the tape. It will probably be considered an illegal battery modification, and will need to be changed.

Kilroy does not keep any duct tape in the lab; seriously. Our head mentor "doesn't want to keep the temptation around".

Although we do have a six inch strip of duct tape labled "Kilroy emergency tape", we (thankfully) did not have to use it this year.
