We’re completely transparent about our passion for building on-grid, but this time we decided to put on some shades: this Transparent Black Grid Plate brings unique polycarbonate possibilities to the goBILDA® menu of structure!
Plates and panels are important to robot-building, whether they’re helping to guide an element into your collection mechanism or armoring your ‘bot to cover its vitals. On that point, the polycarbonate material of this Grid Plate dances a fine line across both toughness and flexibility. It is able to handle the rigors of a robot competition while allowing you to bend it to form the curves and smooth contours that your heart or robot desires, all while rocking a sleek, tinted aesthetic.
As the medium-range Transparent Black Grid Plate we offer, this Plate sits at the general Goldilocks table of real estate. Its dimensions provide ample heft to help it to perform as a mounting surface and as a guide-path for objects traveling along a specific path. But if you'd like smaller sizes or unorthodox forms, don't worry—polycarbonate is easy to cut with fine-tooth saw blades, abrasive wheels, or even a good hearty pair of scissors to get you exactly the structural solution you need!
If you prefer a classic, un-tinted view, we also offer this exact size as a Clear Grid Plate.
Don't Use Loctite with Polycarbonate
