Re: Minibot climb rate

I have a question regarding the minibot and this seems to be the best place to ask it. Sorry if that's not correct.

R92 specifically mentions the following 2 adhesives.
G. Polycarbonate glue
R. PVC cement or cleaner

Does this really mean nothing else can be used? I'm thinking that exactly what that means, but I would like some more input.

If we indeed can only use these two adhesives and nothing else... In my limited experience, the PVC cement is not very useful on anything but PVC and/or CPVC. The "Polycarbonate glue" seems have different varieties available and some of those look like they might be useful for attaching other items on the minibot list to each other. However, it sure would be nice to just whip out the contact cement or silicone if it's kosher to do so.

Thanks for any input in advance.
