As per <R7> Robots are allowed the following additional "non-VEX" components: ~ ~ e. Non-shattering plastic from the following list; polycarbonate (Lexan), acetel monopolymer (Delrin), acetal copolymer (Acetron GP), POM (acetal), ABS, PEEK, PET, HDPE, LDPE, Nylon (all grades), Polypropylene, FEP; as cut from a single 12" x 24" sheet up to 0.070" thick. ii. Plastic may be mechanically altered by cutting, drilling or bending etc. It cannot be chemically treated, melted or cast. Heating polycarbonate to aid in bending is acceptable.
I wanted to ensure the following mechanical alterations and the results of such alterations would be allowed to make inspection easier.
1: splitting of a plastic sheet along the plane defined by the 1' x 2' dimensions, resulting in multiple sheets thinner than 0.070" in thickness
2: repeated application of force by rollers to a plastic sheet, resulting in a thinner sheet with a larger surface area.
Additionally, I wanted to ask for the allowance of use of multiple 1' x 2' sheets of legal plastic, such that the total thickness of all sheets combined do not surpass 0.070".
