Talking Re: Wood Chassis vs. Kit Frame

We are using Bamboo plywood for our frame this year. Our school has moved to a new location and we building a "green" campus. In the spirit our green movement we built a robot out of Bamboo poles last year. They were very difficult to work with but we pulled it off. We find the 3/4" and 1/2" Bamboo plywood to be a remarkably beautiful wood that we can easily manipulate. However, it is expensive. I guess being "green" has its price.
