In 2015 Allplastics provided Clear Polycarbonate Sheets to the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) for Team 4613, Barker Redbacks. Due to the outstanding toughness and machinability, Polycarbonate was an exceptional choice for the robot systems.
Alastair Pilley, one of the team members commented "The robots had a weight limit of 54.4kg and we were able to replace parts made from 3mm thick Aluminium plate with 3mm thick Polycarbonate which enabled us to reduce the weight of this system by 2kg with no noticeable reduction in strength."
