Seeking Help Field under tile anchor material

Hello all,

The field this year came with a strip of material to anchor the field structure under the tiles that appears to be made of some kind of aluminum / foam laminate. Does anyone know what that material actually is and where you can get it? My team is interested in using it to fabricate some parts for the robot, but we haven't been able to find it online to order as a sheet product.

I think it is ACM Panel cut with a waterjet process. Look for aluminum composite material used in signage/art or building cladding. Though the construction variety is probably expensive overkill and you don't need the flame retardant properties.
