Read the manual.
An Alliance Platform is located at each end of the field adjacent to the Alliance Station Wall. The horizontal surface of the platform is 12 inches above the field, 48 inches deep, and 11 feet wide. The surface of the platform is covered by clear polycarbonate. An aluminum diamond-plate ramp leads up from floor level to the top of the platform at a 30-degree angle. 24-inch tall walls made of 1/2 inch polycarbonate form the ends of the platform to prevent robots from falling off the platform.

And FYI, Lexan is GE's trademark for polycarb (http://www.gelexan.com/gelexan/).
