Lexan side panel thickness?
I'm still investigating a few things for this year's robot, one of them being protective side panels for the robot's frame (which will be kitbot, if that helps you visualize it). We're investing in a pair of AndyMarks this year, and I have this recurring fear that those gold side plates will become a big "HIT ROBOT HERE" sign. (Sort of like how your feet always get stepped on right after you buy a new pair of sneakers.) In the interest of giving the sponsor logos the same protection (except theirs would be more "SCRAPE ROBOT HERE"), I'm looking at lexan for this particular job.
For those who've done similar things before, what thickness of lexan were you using? Did it hold up reasonably well?
