Re: How Do You Make Your Robot?

Can you tell what parts of this are wood/not wood just by looking?

And, does it not look good?

I don't think there are any pictures out there of 330's underside in 2007, but if you looked at it, it was wood, hogged out to reduce weight. (Areas connecting fasteners remained at full thickness.) Other robots used wood baseplates; 2005 had a built-in notch to help interface with the frame.
