We've used 0.25in polycarbonate for gearboxes before with decent success. So long as you have a solid way to mount the gearboxes and watch out for over-tightening screws you should be fine. You're already using VexPro gears from the looks of it so you should save a decent amount of weight just by doing that instead of using steel.
