Adam, you're right - if it's not competing the rules don't apply. It would probably be a good idea to make the ATB "indestructible" as a feature. After all, you wouldn't want to have to rebuild it after every practice session!
Injection-moulded polypropylene would be good ... might be a problem with the tens of ?1000's tooling cost though... Vac-formed ABS sounds like a good practical solution. Wouldn't mind seeing a one-piece brushed/polished metal body, though - kinda DeLorean style...

You could always go retro with the time-honoured art card and gaffa tape look...
You need "mounting board" from an art supplies shop. It's about 1.5mm thick card and great for building all sorts of stuff. And of course, never underestimate the powers of gaffa tape!
It might not stand up to MilitAnt etc, but then neither does 1mm polycarb...
