Re: Robot Base
Plywood is great. 1/2" ply is what is suggested for the AM14U3. You do want to use quality plywood, not OSB. Properly attached it greatly strengthens the chassis. You really want to do through bolts with washers on the plywood side at 3 or more places on each side. That triangulates all the sides to keep it square.
