Ground metal and rubber, dust, grease from chains, just to name a few things that can get on the HDPE. The top of our practice ramp has some hefty gauges in it, not just fine scratching. In testing our bot, we put it through some rigorous drills and hit some of the old bots we had sitting on top pretty hard. The colisions often resulted in the old bots getting knocked around and the ramp took a licking. We maybe wrong that the HDPE may look just fine after each match. Maybe FIRST will even break out a Zamboni and polish it, but it was just too risky for us to take that chance.
