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.
Stating an anecdotal example does prove something in this case - that it's possible to build a wooden robot that looks professional, which is what another poster was questioning. It does not prove that wooden robots tend to be good robots or that a good wooden robot is even possible. He only said that there was a professional looking wooden robot in Tesla this year.
