ALITTLE LATE BUT...

we just used a blow torch. our mentor/teacher went to his room at the school, grabed a blow torch, came back and melted/burned the lexan, and then bent it into the shape we needed. it actually worked out pretty well too.

i know this is a little late for nationals but...
If in the futur you are going to use this method keep in mind that we scored it first. We were bending 1/4" lexan so i set the skill saw's blade to a 1/8"depth and went a long a straight line that we wanted to bend at. This was critical to a clean angle.
