Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

if u read up on one of the items it is called luan! the person who works at home depot and found out the mailbox thing also gave us info that luan is very flexible. it is used as a sub floor in damp areas. yes it is for damp areas but keep in mind water is messy and bad for the robots so its DEFINETLY NOT being used for its water proof purpose but probably more for its flexibility.
i also just thought of the fact that they are trying to keep the field cheap so the lexan could be used as part of an end zone that the players stand behind because it may be an obstacle for the human player as in '04. but 2 sheets? that makes me a bit skeptical that i'm somewhat correct. but hey its just a guess!
