Re: How do we curve an aluminum shooter panel?
What they ^^ said.
However:
1. Never use Plexiglass (Acrylic) on a robot; It shatters and breaks, dangerously.
2. Polycarbonate (Lexan, Makrolon) bends like aluminum, no heat needed. For a gentle curve, use thin (1/8" or so) and it will bend just fine to a smooth curve: Just secure it along its length so it stays bent.
3. Aluminum is great, but visibility is restricted.
4. Much like Polycarbonate, aluminum does not need to be permanently bent, simply secured in position because it is somewhat flexible.
