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?

the cost of polycarbonate is not fully dependant on the size and thickness. Due to the polymerization process in which it is formed, that is one of the price dependents. Thus even if its say for the argument 1/16" lexan, that is still pretty expensive per 4'x8' sheet and does not bond well to many items.
