Re: Clear plastic sheeting?

It's polycarbonate. Acrylic sheet I would not reccomend as it could not withstand any force on a competition robot. Polycarbonate is rather easy to work with, can roll up, is relatively flexible, and can be bent with heat.

With proper use, you could even use very thick polycarbonate sheet to build your whole robot if you wanted to.

Re: Clear plastic sheeting?

We use 1/16th lexan (polycarbonate). we use a heat gun to bend the lexan and waterjet to cut out the shape

Re: Clear plastic sheeting?

You may find a local Glass company that could help with poly carbonate and save the shipping.
