Re: pic: Team 2614's Cracked Plexi

We had a plexiglas cover over our electronics board (mounted vertically at the back of the robot) on our 2006 robot. In that position, it naturally took a lot of hits, and it looked like that after the first few matches... we learned our acrylic vs. polycarbonate lesson that way, too.
Everyone else gave you good advice, so I won't repeat it.

Our Shop teacher laughed and put each one through a table saw. The acrylic shot out and cracked and polycarbonate was cut with no problems.
