Re: Where can we buy or find out how to make the new floor, rigolith?

what i think would be the best plan would be to just find the slickest floor you can find in your school/build area.

a few ideas we came up with

freshly waxed floor
woodshop floor, once you get sawdust on it, and sweep it up, boy that is like ice.
Ice Rink
Rollerina

What ice rink will let you take out your robot on it. On a simkilar note this bot will be hard to demo unless you bring some regolith to the demo.

The best way to attach these panels is with an FRP adhesive and this would hold the edges down too. For a less "permanent" solution find some double sided acrylic sheet vinyl tape to just hold down the edges but be fore-warned these are sometimes brittle sheets.

Yeah, this stuff is very brittle and snaps easily, especially with how thin it is. If you do try to take it off of the floor, try keep it as straight as possible
