Re: Chicken wire(Mesh) "Tangled in other robots?"
Chicken wire while maybe legal and while i've seen it on robots before doesn't mean you should use it. I don't know what exactly you're using it for but as others have stated above there are better materials for whatever you're doing. Chickenwire gets bent, crushed, broken, torn and destroyed very easily by first robots. Its made for arts and crafts not with 150 pounds robots. So use thin gauge lexan, the nylatron cloth for the bumpers, or any of many other industrial see through materials(check mecmaster for meshes.)
