What sort of material were you considering for your platform?

I'd love to read more details about how you plan to implement this design.

it would be folded up so it would be perpedicular to the ground. At the end of the game, a pin would be pulled, it would fall down, a robot would drive on it, and then we'd lift it off the ground to the position in the picture above
the platform would be made out of a honeycomb aluminum
unfortunately, we decided since it would weigh about 20lbs a side that it was a little heavy so we're going with something else
