Does the material have to be see-through (because you wanted plexiglass)?
Also, how strong do you want it to be?

Well, since your budget is pretty low, I don't think you are going to find something that is stronger than plexiglass at a budget price. How big is your robot (length,width,height) ? Also, does everything have to be glass (gears, chains, etc...)? Because, if everything has to be glass, you have to buy custom-made glass which will cost you a lot more money.

err. can't help you as much as I would like to... look on Google for a cheap glass-cutting device that you can rent for a couple hours in your location. research up some strong glass material on Google also.
got anyway of knowing what that other one is called that i would need 1/4th thickness or was that 1/16th of thickness ploxyglass was it or something?
