We only made one mostly wood robot, it worked well. We glued/stapled the main chassis structure, taking time to figure out how to make the thickness of the different parts so they'd be strong where needed, and light where we could get away with it, and also be able to attach the parts together--for example using thicker wood where staples needed to go into the edge.

Also baltic birch is strong, but it's kind of heavy, you might find that there are places in the robot where it would be better to use a less dense, thicker piece of plywood.

1771's construction method is really neat, with the interlocking tabs. Like an R/C airplane fuselage...
