Polycarbonate is a terrific material to use when constructing robots. Bolt it to two separate components to add some rigidity or use it to cover an area to keep items out while being able to see inside.
Polycarbonate is a superior clear plastic sheet compared to Plexiglass/Acrylic Sheets can easily be cut, milled, and drilled with any standard tools (hacksaw, jigsaw, snips for thin sheets, standard drill bit, etc.) without the cracking or fracturing you would find in Plexiglass. Additionally, Polycarbonate can be bent neatly. Thin sheets can be bent cold with sheet metal techniques, while thicker ones are easy to shape with the help of a heat gun.
