How do we curve an aluminum shooter panel?

We've got a shooter nearly finished and ready to put onto the robot. We can make a plexi curved panel to expedite balls to the shooting mechanism using a heat gun and person power. We don't have any fabrication abilities on site. How should I teach my team to do this with thin aluminum? I didn't want to purchase a high dollar English roller as I'm trying to keep our team "on budget" for a change. haha. Any pearls of wisdom would help. Also if anyone has a reasonablly priced fabricator source in the Arlington, Texas area, please drop me a PM on Chief Delphi. We're ahead of schedule. I don't want this part of the robot to be an obsess point for the team. I'm just a teacher....not an engineer or shop instructor. My practical knowledge is no help to the team.

Thanks in advance!
