Go to Post FIRST is again mirroring real life. And in real life, when we build and design robotic and automated systems, it's safety first. Hitting a human in real life loses a lot more than 30 points. - Fred Agnir [more]

Oh, and by the way, a sheet of aluminum diamond plate 24x48x(1/16) weighs only 7.056 lbs (yeah thats alot of weight, but holes can be drilled....Lots of holes....)
Do you know how many quarter-inch holes you would have to drill in a sheet of diamond-plate to significantly reduce the weight?

Lots and Lots.

Keep in mind that all those holes will reduce the structural strength as well. I'm sure nobody wants to see their robot fall through a ramp...
