Re: plexi glass

I have still seen polycarbonate shatter, but it was under extreme circumstances. Otherwise yes, polycarbonate is very good for robotics. It is almost like sheetmetal, you can shear it, bend it, punch it, heat it and curve it. This all comes at the price of polycarbonate being more expensive than acrylic.
