This is really neat stuff. Glass that doesn't scratch or break. Really nneat.

Gorilla Glass

But is it made by the same company as Gorilla Glue?

Wasn't the plexi that we used on the robot something like that?

But anyways, the stuff we used this last year was pretty strong, but there was
not robot to robot contact directly on the plexi, so I'm not sure how the regular
stuff would do in game situations.

Not sure if you remember in '07, the bot's plexi cover was falling apart by the end of p'tree.

Oh no. Noticed I cracked the plexi (technically "polycarbonate") when I pushed the robot. Watch the video. He does a demo near the end showing punching a hole in other glass vs the Gorilla Glass.

I don't remember where we used plexi in '07. I remember something about it on the electrical stuff, but not sure what happened to it.
