If you can afford it, Lexan polycarbonate is extremely good for being both lightweight and strong. Plus, it has enough plasticity that you can press bearings into it, but I probably wouldn't rely on it for a super powerful bond. We use it for a lot of custom-shaped plastic parts, one of my favorites being a sliding battery box all made out of one sheet of folded polycarbonate.
I'm the leader of an FRC team, so robotics stuff is my thing.
