Re: Acrylic Gearbox Sideplates

When you look at the difference in price for such small amounts (maybe a 1 foot by 1 foot section), the peace of mind afforded by Lexan certainly outweighs the additional $5. Who wants to have their $2000 robot not work because you wanted to save a few bucks.

I'm not sure where you get your plastics, but check to see if they have a "scrap" bin where you can buy smaller pieces that may have some imperfections such as missing paper or non-square edges for significantly less money.
