Answered: Question on rule R7f - use of non shattering plastic

[piniontwister]

I see the rules state that we can use plastic … as cut from a single 12" x 24" sheet up to 0.063" thick.

Is this a very specific rule or can we use 12"x12" of .03 thickness plastic and 12"x12" or .06 thickness plastic.

Is the intent to limit the building of the robot to 12"x24" of material or is it that ALL the material should be the same.

Keep up the good work and thanks for listening.

The intent is to limit the building of the robot to 12"x24" of plastic. Utilizing different thickness is permitted, as long as the pieces wall within this limit.
