I think I am offended

. I am proud of our
wooden chassis heritage. Sean Cantrell came up with an innovative design approach that we have used since 2009. The Digital goats look like they are
doing something similar this year. We have found improvements in technique each year, and all have been outstanding (a regional win each in 2009 and 2010). This year's bot is coming along well, and the chassis is all wood. We don't see any advantage to aluminum (wood shavings never smoke the electronics), and expect to continue the wooden tradition.
