I'm sorry: Did you say 1/2"? as in 0.5 inches thick?
Goodness that's overkill, way too thick for anything I can think of. I think the thickest POLYCARBONATE (not acrylic! Never!) we use is just under 3/16, and that's a major structural element of the robot.
Print this thread out and show it to your mentors. We're sure it is overkill.
Oh, and not plexiglass. Not ever. Even 1/2" thick.
It doesn't matter what goes wrong as long as you have fun. We all thought this was one of our best trips, even though we were second to last in our divison. - afowl [more]
