Would this mesh be legal?

My team has just been putting the final touches (gearboxes, frame, electronics...) on our robot, and we came across this mesh we wanted to use. It is pretty ridged (a little more than a plastic pop bottle), and has ~1cm holes in it. You can see this better in the pictures I have attached.
Do you think it would be legal?
Thanks

Re: Would this mesh be legal?

Is the material itself legal? By following the parts use flowchart, I would say yes. BUT your USE of the material also needs to be legal (e.g. if you are using the netting as a non-functional decoration, or as a basket to hold balls, etc. then there is no problem - but if you are using it to ensnare other robots then it would be illegal).

Dave is right, the material itself is legal, as long as it does not entangle an other robots OR damage the playing field in any way.
