Exclamation Re: Ramp Materials
Our team is now looking at Alumalite as a viable option (thanks Dad1279!). Does anyone know a local distributor of Alumalite? We are in Burlington, Ontario (In the Greater Toronto Area). We need at least 4'x10' sheet perferably in black/pink, but we'll buy whatever is cheap and available. We'd like to be able to pick it up Thursday if its close enough, because we don't have enough time really to have it shipped in...

Also, Dad1279, or someone from his team, or anyone who's dealt with alumalite...Do you know the mass per square foot of Alumalite? And is it really strong enough to support robots (with a proper frame, of course)?

Thanks again everyone, you've all been a great help...
