I've been looking around for a simple plastic mesh to use for electronics boards that isnt the more expensive fiberglass stuff, but haven't had any luck.

For the electronics we just used some plastic eggcrate (I think that's what it's called). We just got it at a local hardware store, and it's similar to this:

It isn't the sturdiest material, though and after a lot of driving and running into things, the plastic snapped in a few mounting places, so we're planning on swapping it out for something else soon. It is nice for prototyping because it is quick and easy to put on, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for a robot you want to be able to take some impact.
