Re: Good Material For Bottom of Chassis
We've used 3/16" black ABS plastic for the last few years with great success. Pretty much indestructible and easy to cut into odd shapes. We know Baltic Birch would be a good, and probably lighter, material. We avoid it because some scouts in the pits have been known to look down upon robots with lots of wood (for no good reason.) If we do use it we paint it to make it look less obviously, well, wooden.
