Is Kevlar Honeycomb allowed?

[Bob Steele]

Hey Bellingham!!

Sure its allowed!! It is a great material...

Most materials are allowed for competition. The costs must be figured out carefully though.

For instance. You must figure out what the smallest piece of honeycomb that could be purchased....if it is sold only in 4X8 sheets you will have to add in the entire cost of the sheet to your bill of materials for your robot.

This costing is kind of difficult the first time you do it but if you read the rules carefully it tells you how to do this.

Remember, even if the material is donated, you must include it in the bill of materials for your robot and you may not exceed $3500 for the robot.

If you have any questions about this let me know...

good luck
We look forward to working with you guys in the Seattle (Tacoma) regional
If you want to come down some weekend and try out your robot please let us know we would love to have you down!!
