Ok, so from what I can see, you would definitely need some sort of clear, highly-flexible material to cover it if you wanted to. I like the shower curtain idea the most. Most curtains are flexible and can stretch some before breaking.
However, many teams use a part once per match. after the match, the part is destroyed. in your case, a clear rain-poncho would also work, and can be bought for a much lower cost than a shower curtain.
See- through is a must if you use a covering.

Tmeziere- Our teams robot had a catching mechanism on it that was covered by soccer-net like material. It passed inspection easily. Of course, our drivers knew the rules well and drove carefully, and we received no fouls.

If you drive carefully, you won't receive fouls and won't have to cover the 'net.'
Hope that I have helped you!
Good luck!
