Well, wood...
Yeah, I agree that there are a lot of parts that you better don't build from wood, but:
It's great to mount te controls on, it works as a non-conductive surface to mount the rotating light on and, believe it or not, our robots wheels are made from wood: We got two drive wheels, each 4 inches wide: Each wheel consists of 8 pieces of 1/2 inch plywood glued and stapled together and the inner 6 pieces only constist of a ring of plywood on the outside (we drilled the inside out for weight-savings). And it works perfectly. We put that nice belting on the wheels and we got a really nice amount of traction, definitely more traction than any robot with 8 skyway wheelchair wheels.
