Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/Advance Materials List and Autodesk Virtual Kit of Parts Informat

Lauan is a cheaper alternative to standard plywood, and you need 2 sheets of quarter inch thick 4x8' of either material.

My guess: These 2 sheets will not be driven on, or have enough support under them from the 16 million 2x4's in the BOM so that the strength of the material won't hamper its ability to be driven on by 130 lb robots.

Therefore, teams can 'cheap' out and save a few bucks by going with lauan. This fields going be expensive enough, and I think FIRST is trying to cut us as many breaks as possible.
