I am mostly just interested in the amount of force required to break the polycarbonate sheet, as that is the most probable place of impact.

The case seems like it'd serve its purpose, to protect the roboRIO, I was just wondering how good of a job it really does. The worst case scenario the past few years would be either the 2014 game ball landing directly on it, or a Frisbee deflected into it. The latter has the potential to have a lot of force. FRC games are tough. You have to design durable parts.
