Fixed...

Adam, read the 2007 design book for about the first robot they made out of the stuff. If it weren't for all the stickers and lights you have to have, it would have been virtually invisible. I haven't seen one of theirs since... or seen pictures, either.

They're clearly pretty good at working with polycarb.

Bonus points to Adam for getting me started on a pun trail...
