Re: Has any team or anybody made a 80% - 100% lexan bot?
Team 1038 did use the Lexan pictured in this thread. It wasn't acrylic. We only had minimal damage - a chunk taken out of a side plate during the 2003 IRI when a very strong and fast team tried to remove us from the top of the ramp. We also used 80% Lexan in 2002 when we were team #144. There may be some pics in the image galleries from that season. That machine was great. We like polycarb because it is workable for our students and it has many close characteristics to 6061 Aluminum. We also get it donated by a couple of our sponsors, therefore very affordable! One of our students (CD username crispyc) did a Strength of Materials project while studying at Miami University. I'll see if he has any of his research around. Good luck with your project Alex. I'll PM you if I find Crispyc, or his project.
