I asked the team about it after the match when they were picking up the pieces. Let's just say, there is a really good reason you use polycarbonate and not acrylic on robots.

our first grabber was acrylic, as was our nice pot mount. to demonstrate why acrylic shouldn't be used on robots, our build captain threw the grabber on our shop floor. it shattered, and we moved to a lexan pot mount and a lexan + aluminum grabber.
