Question Re: Star intake rollers

Wow,
I just priced some 1/2 inch silicone rubber sheets 1 foot square and was shocked at the price ($50/ pc). The idea of cutting this material out using a water jet may be cost prohibitive. Does anyone have experience with water jet cutting the interlocking floor tiles (7/8 inch thick), 2 foot square, used as the VEX field or commonly found at Home Depot, Lowes, for kid playing fields? If this material worked, it may make sense to proceed down the water jet cutting path of the floor tile material directly.
