Good rationale for tape construction - if you're trying to build something in a classroom session tape is probably the best option. Of course, some additional consideration is needed in the design to allow for taped construction. Tape is all we use when building the simplest stomp rockets (ages 6 and up). What a more experienced builder might consider a "rough" construction is just fine (and much loved) by the little ones, especially since they do it all themselves.
Tape is not a bad choice for prototyping, quick and re-positionable (a few times, anyway). Personally, I use glue since the Titebond II carpenters glue sets almost immediately (quick) and I try to do my re-positioning by dry-fitting the parts beforehand.
Yogi (BTW - Alphonso just might post/credit the first "glue" builder ... pics anyone?)
