Right on the money. Our team has been in love with Lexan ever since we took a hammer to it last year. Every single member swung away at it and we barely even scratched it. This year we covered the entire robot with it (including bases for our electronics, pneumatics, and arm modules). We used mostly 1/8", 1/16" and even 1/32" thick sheets. If there weren't quite so many wires on our electronics board you could see right through to the pneumatics module and the floor below it from the top.
