Just to add to this:
The thickness of a plate has a cubic relationship to its rigidity. A "pocketed" plate of thicker material can have significantly more rigidity for the same weight as a thinner "non-pocketed" plate, depending on the thickness difference of course.
FIRST is here to inspire you, to challenge you. Part of that process is giving you a task too hard, resources too little, people too many, time too short. - ebarker [more]
