Yes, tinted polycarbonate is legal. Let’s look at the applicable rule.

<R7> Robots are allowed the following additional “non-VEX” components: f. Polycarbonate as cut from a single 12" x 24" sheet up to 0.0625" thick. (Please note that polycarbonate is different from acrylic sheet, which is not legal. Polycarbonate is sold under trade names such as Lexan® and Makrolon®.)

There are no restrictions on the colour of the polycarbonate.
