Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

[daniel_dsouza]

Wood is a friendly material. It's cheap, easy to machine, and "easy" to assemble.

There has always been wood on our robots (in recent years anyway). 2013 had a wooden shooter, 2012 had a wooden shooter, 2011 had wooden panels, etc.

When buying, we just find plywood that is as stiff or as flexible as the application demands. "Machining" is done with a table saw, jigsaw, and rotozip combination. Wood is material that we do not worry about tolerances. Engraving can be done with a laser engraver.

Good luck on your endeavors!
