Thanks! I'm still trying to get a piece of the official stuff.

I believe its 1/16 and is pretty flexible. As long as you have the end pressed down far enough so it is parallel to the floor it slides very well. You can file the edges and corners to make it even better. If you spray Silicone spray in it, and wipe it off, it will slide even more. The carpet I found over the years if pretty much the indoor outdoor carpet that you can find at Home depot. Even if its not we never had a problem if there was a difference in the carpet. The co efficient of friction difference is negligible for a 120 lbs robot.
