Re: Prototype material of choice?

My team uses wood because it is very easy to work with. For things that will be high load, we usually try to find some scrap metal from prior years. We also take advantage of the parts from older practice robots, since they usually have pretty nice mechanisms which are already put together (like this year, we took the intakes from last year's prototype to test this years intake).
