Fabric used as sheathing.

So, as we've been dealing with lowering our robot's weight considerably, we're investigating alternative methods of sheating our robots and its internal components from damage.

One method we're pursuing is the use of fabric rather than the traditional sorts of lexan covers many robots have. So, I've been wondering what sort of fabric teams used last season on their wings -- as seen on robots from teams like 60, 118, and 343.

We need something that's light, strong, readily available and, with luck, puncture and tear resistant. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
