Neat! Mecanum?

I can't speak for 1899, but we've been using laser cut plywood extensively this season.
We use .25" 5-ply baltic birch plywood cut on a ~75 W Trotec Speedy 300 with a 29"x17" bed.
If you're curious how we like to make things (which is a little different from how 1899 does), we've released lots of documentation on our work:
- Our off-season drivetrain engineering journal
- Our off-season drivetrain CAD
- Our 2015 engineering journal
Edit: Here's another great resource for laser-cut design (and more): http://www.instructables.com/id/How-...y-Really-Fast/
