Are there any good ways to produce TEMPORARY markings on large areas of
floor surface (mainly carpet, some linoleum) suitable for line following
robots, etc.?

Someone suggested masking tape, but that wouldn't be good for long term
usage (leaves residue when removed). I'd like something that can be left
on indefinitely (hours to weeks) without damaging the surface.
