Re: Robot plexiglass/plastic

Yeah, I would not recommend plexiglass, or any form of acrylic. It is a lot cheaper than polycarbonate, but for a reason. My team found this out the hard way, as we figured for shielding material we'd go with the cheaper option... It didn't even survive testing, let alone last long enough for Ship Day (now Bag Day?), we switched to lexan and never looked back.
