Bulletproof glass recently protected observers at the Bots IQ 2010 National Competition, a robot battle royale in Miami. Mega powerful machines built by engineering students shredded, rammed and laid waste to one another throughout the competition to crown the toughest robot. 

As the robots spun at bone crushing 2,500 rotations per minute and rammed each other with razor sharp fenders, observers were safely protected from flying debris, including glass, metal and other hazards, by bulletproof glass.
More than 500 individuals stayed safe behind the glass while 67 teams of high school and middle school students battled it out, robot style.
