Re: Building Green... What are teams doing?

We're building our robot mostly of wood, and locally available materials, and keeping machining to a minimum. I like to think it's because we're concerned about the environment, but it's more likely because we're cheap and lazy!

(saving money and labor, by carefull design and material selection, is a major goal of engineers who work for companies that are expected to make a profit)
