Plastic robots? See 1714. 3d Printed robots? I suggest against it. Unless you have some fancy printer the parts probably aren't as durable as they need to be and you can't print in large scales. This would limit what you are able to do. Is 3d printing a part a good idea if you know the material can hold up to the loads it will see? Sure.
