Spare parts

[Team 4264]

Forgive our rookieness, as we are clueless.
Rule r13
The term "spare parts" and not being counted as part of budget. I consider this to mean part harvesting off whatever junk equipment. Since we have a no money to buy things then "spare parts" will be the bulk of our bot.
Since we have no Pros (mentors & engineers) to help we have no idea how much of the parts work so I foresee us using the K.I.S.S. approach and use the items we know how to work with, scavenge everything else.
Are we allowed use wood? Not just for bumpers, but framing, throwing arms, etc.?
Can we use "deer net" as a defense, as it is nearly invisible?
Can we not use any or all of the logic boards and still be able to drive around?
Our school promised us a laptop by 1/15 so we could load all of the software we were given. [insert eyeroll here]
Shoo, what is that smell? Oh it's that darn desperation blowing around again. Will keep you posted if it reaches a Category 5.
