No, this is not legal. <R7g> lists the only allowable uses for tape. I’ve quoted this rule below for your convenience.

@VEX Skyrise Game Manual

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components:
g. A small amount of tape may be used for the following purposes:
i. For the sole purpose of securing any connection between the ends of two (2) VEX cables.
ii. For labeling wires and motors.
iii. Teflon tape solely for the purposes of preventing leaks may be used on the threaded portions of pneumatic fittings.
iv. For securing and retaining a VEXnet key to the VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller. Using tape in this manner is highly recommended to ensure a robust connection.
