Team 4183 the Bit Buckets used the laser cutter at our build space, Xerocraft, to make a wooden robot that mines the landfill, and makes and caps stacks of four.
The laser cutter bed is only 29x17", so we had to use many pieces of wood bolted together to make the larger components. The drive base is three wood sheets long, and the elevator is three sheets tall. No glue used - it can be completely disassembled with a screwdriver.
It seems to have worked. We won the Arizona East regional as well as the Creativity Award.
