Re: 1mm titanium strength equivilent

Easily. It'll bend, probably deform more than the Ali, but it'll bounce right back. Especially Grade5 stuff, it has a very high elasticity.

you want grade 4, grade 5 cracks on edges

Interesting, I'm currently working with grade4 and it is super bendy, I just though 5 was more so.

After all the suggestions, I will try the HDPE but in 6mm form. My only worry is its spinner-proofability!

Lower the grade the tougher and easier to bend , Higher the grade the more brittle and easier to crack

I used 6mm HDPE on the sides/back of Cicatrix against Buzzbar at the UK Champs this year, it put a cut or two in it but didn't go right though and after the event it cost very little to make a replacement part.

The HDPE on the Hannibalito series of robots never got a breech. Slices, dents, lots of 'em, penetration, no.

Not even the bottom plate, what is only 5mm.
