The AndyMark 0.125 in. Thick 46.67 in. x 10.875 In. Polycarbonate Sheet is a versatile component utilized in the construction of the FIRST Tech Challenge Perimeter Kit. This single sheet of polycarbonate plastic is precisely cut to a rectangular dimension of 46.67 inches by 10.875 inches. Known for its durability and resilience, polycarbonate is a preferred material in various applications due to its superior impact resistance compared to other plastics such as acrylic, which is prone to shattering.

This polycarbonate sheet is shipped with a protective covering on both sides, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition, ready for immediate use. The material’s origins trace back to 1963 when it was invented by Dan Fox at General Electric, where it was marketed under the trade name LEXAN. However, it is also available under other trade names such as Makrolon, Hyzod, and Cyrolon, reflecting its widespread adoption and reliability in demanding environments.

Note: This material is not suitable for use in applications where acrylic is typically used, as it offers significantly greater impact resistance, making it ideal for mobile robotics and other dynamic applications.
