Re: Is Kevlar Honeycomb allowed?

I am all in favor of FIRST teams using composit materials and construction techniques. We Will be laying up some parts again this year. We will also probable use some pultrustions. However, Some teams have used some of the more exotic composite materials. I contend that many of them are not commonly available to all teams and do not pass the costing guide lines. This was brought up earlier on a prepeg post and now the arimid honey comb. I would love to see a link to a web site or company listing that would sell these materials in small quantities and the pricing. Put some fiber in your robots diet but do it with in the guide lines
