Uses of Lexan

[ctt956]

Lexan makes good robot armor! I've seen it used as a "hood" bolted to the top of a robot. It protects most of the robot from damage, and the case of Stronghold, keeps boulders from getting stuck inside of the robot. Because it's clear, it allows you to see inside and tell if there's an issue. I've also seen Lexan panels covering other parts of robots and serving as sponsor plates.

237 has used it for a board to mount all the electrical too, sides for protection and other uses in the past. Gearbox covers one year too. It's even good to cut up and machine for prototyping uses too.

I get scraps free/donated (even for my own use) as I work professionally in the robotics and automation field (plastic injection molding) and most guarding is Lexan panels normally in Bosch profile. We go through a lot of it and get leftover scraps regularly.
