I <heart> wooden robots. I've never seen yours, but two thumbs up from me.

Wooden Thunder was our 2005 robot: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/20312

Re: What did everyone think of team 1803 "Wood Works: Robot Woodie

gotta see a photo before I can decide.

Wood is a great material to work with in a low budget shop. I have a wooden kayak in my garage that Im finishing in a few weeks, and I had a wood motor boat that I built a few years back.

One suggestion: once you have a wood assembly its very easy to cover with fiberglass, if you can accept the extra weight it makes the structure much stronger. If you plan this from the start you can make a very thin and lightweight wood structure, then cover with fiberglass for strength.

if you have a photo you cant post for some reason send it to my email: wittlief@aol.com

Actually, RAGE has used a wooden base since about 1996 or so. We use Baltic Birch Plywood, I believe 9 ply, and have only had 2 breaks that I know of. Once in 2003 and once last year. Plywood is definately great for building no matter what the team's budget.

Re: What did everyone think of team 1803 "Wood Works: Robot Woodie

Plywood is mother nature's composite. We used wood this year for budget reasons. Birch plywood is strong stuff. As mention above 9 ply Baltic birch is amazing stuff. Be careful of home center plywood. The inner layers are a low density filler wood. Not as strong. We used a piece of 1/4" this year with a layer of s glass on each side. Our shooter is a 3/4" birch box. We'll see how it holds up this weekend.

I thought it was great, but then I might be a bit biased .
Get Tony to add the finished robot photo to your website.

That was one well constructed rookie robot! Finishing as the 8th Alliance after seeding proved that! You were high on our scouters list as a choice.
