Polycarbonate is very difficult to laser cut. You'll get a charred edge and possibly melt some stuff. It can be done but it's messy.

Be VERY CAREFUL that you don't mix up acrylic and polycarbonate. Acrylic is pretty easy to laser cut - but it is not polycarbonate. It's both illegal in minibots and fantastically brittle.
