We have very little knowledge of this material and whether it will be permitted in our final robot construction. Has anyone ever worked with this stuff? Will there be any problems using it on our robot? We can certainly tell you that it is really light and strong, but we have no idea how to come up with a price value for it.

Thanks.

the material you speak of is from what i understand very popular this year, and is infact permitted, from the information you provided i cant tell much, however composite honeycomb sheets are generally much stronger than plywood, and used in many applications, however their strength depends on the inner capsules as well as the width of the plastic coating on the outside, more info can be found on the website www.nida-core.com , i have seen many samples of this material, it is very light, as well as very hard, seeing as it is the grade used for airplane flooring, id assume its upward of 120lb per square foot, however be sure to look through the data and specifics on the nidacore website, some truss-work may be required to re-enforce the sheet, the material is very very reliable.

good luck,
rohith
