 It's about compressing life into 6 weeks. It's about doing. It's about learning to fail. It's about gracious professionalism. It's about releasing the limitations that we all put on ourselves. It's about thinking outside of the box. It's about growing. - JohnBoucher [more] |

Re: 657 here .. anybody use wood base?
while our team does not construct a wooden base, we have seen a fair share of them. I was wondering what the allure was to an all wood base. Is it weight, or cost?
I think FIRST gave us a pretty decent base for a robot, I think I personally would use this over a wood base. Some robots have an amazing all wood robot. I believe there were 3 wooden robots in Manchester last year  |

Re: 657 here .. anybody use wood base?
I don't really remember the exact reason for a wood base. At the time, cost and available tools may have been a factor.
I don't think our team has had a major sponsor since the first year we competed, let alone having any mentors besides teachers and random parents. |
