Re: clarification of rule <R44> on the "The Robot" section
The standard tests for what clear plastic is are as follows (choose one):
A) Drill a hole. Plexiglass cracks; Lexan (polycarb) doesn't. There are ways to avoid the cracks, but in general, this works.
B) Clamp one end to a solid surface and hit it with your biggest hammer. If it breaks, it's Plexiglass.
C) If it still has the backing on it, read that.
