Re: strong composites for belly pan
I don't know about perforated plastic sheet, but corrugated plastic is fairly strong and fairly light. If it's properly supported (around the bottom of the frame, say) it can hold a full-weight robot. I don't remember what thickness we used on our ramps in 2007, but I don't think it was more than about 1/4"-3/8", on about a 3' square.
