Re: Could the field be ice?

Bing! Lightbulb. They could use really thin lexan that's attatched (like by glue) to something underneath (like plywood). You don't need it to be very thick this way. The lexan would be plenty durable and it wouldn't cost much since it is so thin. It could be like the same thickness lexan as what's used in RC Car bodies. What about that?

EDIT: Awww, heck. Even some thin sheet aluminum would still be slippery. And it could be fitted in the same manner as the lexan described above. Battlebots arenas have a metal floor don't they?
