| − | Commonly used on [[Lightweights]] due to the weight restriction, especially on spinners.
| + | Plastic Armor is usually the lightest armor available without any known cheats or glitches ([[DSA]] for example). This means that it is most useful for building bots that must be light in favor of its [[weight class]] requirements, like [[AW]]s, [[BW]]s, and some [[LW]]s. |
