Re: Wood vs Aluminum

I have used wood on 10 of the 12 robots built. The right wood works great. Due to the high impact it will take without breaking. Team 61 robot has been know to hit a lot of robots. But the robot frame has never failed. A wood frame works great to start from due to you can place any part on it with out a lot of work. Just pick a spot and put it there. where the Aluminum you need to do a little more work to make it fit.


Wood and the parts it take to put on different devices are cheap. The hardest thing with wood is knowing how to use it in the best way to get the most from it.
