The flooring is incredibly expensive–we figured out it would cost us almost $1000 to build a practice field.
What are you doing to simulate the low friction environment?
i’ve heard linoleum (sp?) works well…also the material whiteboard is made out of seems to work well
The flooring is commonly used in hotel bathrooms as a cover for walls I believe. Here in vegas many hotels are going up, so if you contact your local general contractor or construction company I’m sure they have pallets of this stuff laying around.

my team has been talking bout the throw away table clothes and we are also getting a piece of the basically what its made out of from home depot
Yea we’re using stuff from Home depot.
What stuff from Home Depot?
Home Depot in my area sells FRP material (glasliner is a product name) for 27 bucks for a 4’x8’ sheet.
The Home depot material is ~ $25 for 8 sheet around here and our local Menards has something similar for ~ $12 a sheet…
Shop around…
Weird, we got quoted $80 for that. Heading over now to check it out.
Be careful - even linoleum and formica give more traction than the FRP does… you may be surprised if you don’t at least buy one sheet and practice sharting and stopping on it.
Check Lowes too- our HD said they didn’t carry it but Lowes did.
So, if teams buy the stuff from HD or Lowes, what is the average cost for a fairly good sized driving portion?
our lunch room at timken is what we are using it is a very slick surface…
Seeing as we are getting another ice storm :ahh: , we will take our bot outside and run it on a sheet of ice!
We went there; they’d misquoted us and we got it for $27! Thanks crew!
Ice rink. Not joking.
Ice Rink would work… but the ice might crack even if it is a rink a skating rink might be better:D :ahh:
We got all of the flooring for free but we have to give it back when we are done.
Some hockey rinks use this same material.
Sorry, most practice rinks or shooting areas in hockey rinks use this material…
