Retrotape damage

I remember looking at my 'bot after a match, and pulling a nice size bit of retro tape off a bolt on the side panal. I had the offending bolt (it must have been at just the same hight as the top goal deck) filed down. Despite taking off all the sharp edges we could find, the odd bit of retro tape would still show up on our bot or stuck to our wheels and what not.

Several times when taking our 'bot off the field I noticed just how little of the tape was still on the goals, and this was only a few matches into the day. It was like this at every game I've been to so far. I'm rather sure it wasn't just us chewing up the tape, there was _a lot_ of damage, enough that some faces of the goal had virtually no tape left.

So my question is this: For teams that used the retro tape and sensors in some way, did you notice problems due to the tape being stripped off?
