Re: Wood robots
95 has made many wood chassis robots. We found the most robust way to attach the panels together was with bolts and 90deg angle aluminum. The angle brackets can be drilled on a drill press, clamped in place on the plywood, then just match-drilled through. Our recipe was 1/2" plywood with 1"x1"x1/8" angle brackets and 1/4-20 fasteners, CNSK heads on the outside for a nice smooth finish, and hex-heads with washers everywhere else. 3"-4" of space between each bolt, FWIW.
Have fun!
Edit: we also used the 7-layer baltic plywood, it is good stuff.
