And the answer: it depends on the design. The "breakable" aspect is something to look into, though it may be less breakable than if it were on a robot. It's also easy to fix, if you have the budget for Lexan. Here's the difference: Plexiglass is typically a type of acrylic; Lexan is a brand of polycarbonate. Lexan is tougher to break. Weight for either depends on thickness. They can be heavy, but they can also be lightened with a holesaw or similar method.

Should have said "Plexiglass-Type material"

It'll probably be lexan, as were fortunate enough to have a member who's parents have a business doing that stuff.

Come to think of it, we used Plexiglass for our original electronics tray, and it broke so we used lexan.
