Do not use Plexiglas or Acrylic plastic on FRC robots! It is much more brittle than polycarbonate, and can shatter easily. Polycarbonate is quite elastic, which gives it a great deal of strength.
How do they get it black or a darker colour... is i just how they buy it (get donated) or is it painted. The Lexan we get is clear.
