Re: Uses of Lexan

Obligatory reminder to make sure you're using polycarbonate/Lexan/Makrolon and not acrylic/Plexiglas/Lucite. Polycarbonate is probably the second most useful robot building material after aluminum. I consider it to be more versatile because it's easier to machine on the fly (less setup required). There are hundreds of uses for it even if your main robot frame is aluminum.
