Seriously we have a team that builds robots with interlocking laser cut plywood very similar to this one every year and they are strong and light.

If this design is durable enough to stand up to the rigors of a full FRC season, then there is no reason at all to move to aluminum.
I just assumed it would be a logical choice. Sorry if my assumption was incorrect. I just don't see many, if any, teams using laser cut plywood, so the assumption was that it is not suitable for competition.
This design has a lot of things going for it, I just though it was a "prototype" to a final design. My bad.
