Has anyone actually performed a statistical test on how wooden robots perform vs how metal robots do? I don't know or suspect an answer, it just would be interesting to know.
You would need a massive sample size of wooden robotcs IMO. I mean, done right (like the Bit Buckets), you can have a robot as competitive or more competitive than a metal one. It really comes down to strategy, because I haven't seen any significant differences in capability between the two yet.
