Heh, it'd be sweet if someone built their bot outta polycarb. That'd be rather fragile tho. Just get some nice 3/4" thick polycarb

Somebody did. In 2001 (I think Adam knows this story better than I) they only used Lexan as a building material. They made 1/4" lexan angle, lexan sidepanels, and everything like that. No structural steel or aluminum at all.
It was pretty cool looking
EDIT:
Forgot to mention who it was! It was team 401. We were next to them in the pits at VCU, so I remember them lifting up lexan parts of their robot I could see through while we worked.
