I have to agree. For some things, wood is far superior to metal. We made several components that didn't require super strength out of wood, and all of them are light, very rigid, strong, and, most importantly, easy to modify and repair. Had we used metal, our robot would've been heaver and flimsier.

I do think that structural members should be metal, but wood definatly has its place.
