This is a single sheet of polycarbonate (PC) plastic, cut to a 35×8 in. rectangle. This single sheet will be shipped with a protective covering on both sides of the plastic.

Polycarbonate was invented in 1963 by Dan Fox at General Electric. GE’s trade name for this plastic is LEXAN, but it also is sold under other trade names (Makrolon, Hyzod, Cyrolon). This material is NOT plexiglas or acrylic, as we don’t suggest that you use that material on a mobile robot, since acrylic will easily shatter.
