Yep. That acrylic I mentioned earlier--the impact was at about 3.5-4 feet up. The "ramp" that was gone up could slow or stop a robot pretty well-- except that one. The other 3 sides of the tower shielding (running between arm supports) were Lexan and survived the rest of the season, as did the replacement Lexan panel.
