Even 1/8" doorskin plywood will work fine... but you would have to be careful with netting to ensure it doesn't entangle other robots."

Deer net is used to keep deer out of your garden. It is very thin, and would not block vision. Think over sized flyswatter to block shots. Would it be our fault if a bot stuck its arm in our flyswatter? I do not intend for it to be long or droopy, just tight enough to block shots.
