Plywood - talk to us about how you use plywood

[GBK]

We have used plywood for something for the last 4 years. In Logomotion we used 3/4 in plywood for fins to line up to the tower to deploy the mini bot. Worked great until we got to MSC and broke 5 of them, all on the same side. I almost felt bad for the student that spent almost an entire day at MSC making replacements. We of course did not bring enough plywood to make all the replacements, but were able to scrounge enough. I remember team 141 was ready to tear apart the pier awards they made to hand out so we could have wood to make replacements. (thankfully we did not have to go to that extreme) The student ended up making one out of 1/2 in plywood framed with aluminum angle. Somehow we never broke that one. Bent the heck out of the bracket that mounted it to the frame though.
