Please refer to R7f:

f. 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. For the purposes of preventing leaks on the threaded portions of pneumatic fittings. This is the only acceptable use of Teflon tape.

iv. For securing and retaining a VEXnet Key 2.0 to the VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller. Using tape in this manner is highly recommended to ensure a robust connection.

v. All other functional uses of tape, such as grip tape or duct tape, are prohibited.

In addition, If you’re trying to get something to not slip on a piece of metal, I would try using anti-slip mat, which IS legal.

Hi,

Whoops. Anyways, I’m pretty sure the other thread cited the wrong rule. I’ll be sure to check next time!
