Poly Carb is great for protective panels. If you have supports under it you can go as thin as 1/16" which is what we usually use. Poly Carb is very good for resisting puncture and will not crack. One warning MAKE SURE YOU GET POLY CARB most stores will sell acrylic as poly carbonate. Acrylic is not only not allowed in first but is breaks like glass when it is impacted or bent.
Good luck on your rookie year and feel free to post up if you have questions about anything.
