No, Lexan breaks as well, it just doesn't shatter. When the drawbridge broke at Northern Lights we didn't have to pick up shards of plastic, just the two pieces of polycarb that broke off.
Yes, polycarbonate is better than acrylic/plexiglas, but it isn't magic. It will still break if you (or 40-60 150 pound robots) put excessive stress/fatigue on weakened points (such as bolt holes).
