Re: Team Update #1
The floor material is not exactly thin, flexible, or breakable. It's about 35 lbs. per 4x8 sheet (the competitions will use 50'x8" rolls, ***very*** heavy), and definitely would not lift with any amount of suction on a 28x38 robot. I think their rule clarification was specifically targeted at the potential traction benefit, and not associated with any sort of potential damage to the floor.
To think that avoiding floor damage would make your robot legal is probably incredibly optimistic - trust me--nothing will damage this floor...
