Re: Ramp Materials

My team is VERY, VERY new, so any input from a veteran team would be appreciated. We have designed our ramp system, but do not know what material to build it out of. We have an aluminium fram completed but need a material to mount on it to support the robots we will lift. Weight is a slight issue, we have considered:

- Lexan
- 1/4 inch plywood
- Expanded Aluminium
- Expanded Steel

Any input on our ideas and especially NEW SUGGESTIONS would be wonderful, thanks...
