looks like a file card

those 4 long mechanisms with "velcro" ...that material actually seem to look like a file card backing.

go grab a file card (available in small parts) and *push* it lightly into carpet (preferably dense) and see if u can move it laterally AT ALL

good stuff huh?

now think about trying to move a 130 lb robot with a square foot of that stuff on its base
