Sooo.....my question is.....Can we basically bend over and kiss our chances of even getting this done goodbye? Any help would be appreciated! thanks

This is not supposed to be mean, but, you have NO chance of surviving a match with plexiglass. It will crack and break and splinter into a million pieces when another robot just barely nudges it... Our team learned this the first match in 2001 @ NYC. Hence why we have lots of lexan on reserve now. Attached is a pic of the shattering (the other robot barely nudged us on the side)...
