Re: Is Kevlar Honeycomb allowed?

I'll say it one more time. List some companies I can call today and order some of these materials for my team. Give me the name of a prepeg house that will sell my team a small quantity prepeg that meets the cost reqirements and then we can all go forward and use these wonderful materials. Until then I contend that these more exotic materials are not legal for FIRST use. I went thru the Thomas register last year looking for vendors. I found no company that would be legal by First guide lines. The biggest problems were minimum order quantity, Minimum dollar amount per order or they just do not sell to the general public. I could have gotten some material for our ramps last year from a friends company. I did not because I could not account for it By the rules. May be I should just ignore the GP and take the atitude other teams do. It's OK util some body calls them on it.
