How are you planning on mounting bumpers?
EDIT: Nevermind, looked up the team number. Ignore question.
In New England they build robots so tough they don't need no stinkin' bumpers.

Plywood isn't sketchy, it's a material with its own strengths (cheap, easy to work with, strong) and weaknesses (not "cool" according to some people). I like to say it's a cutting edge composite. IMO many teams would be well served by building more simple working things out of plywood than complicated not working things out of aluminum.
