Wood Chassis vs. Kit Frame

[GUI]

There are really two questions being debated here (one a little more so than the other), "Why use a custom chassis?" and "Why make your custom chassis out of wood?". We use a custom chassis because we can make our obot exactly how we want it, and it makes mounting everything easier for us. We use wood because it is light, inexpensive, readily available, and easy to use with the tools we have. We can also make as many mounting holes as we need in wood on the spot, or simply screw something on. A custom chassis, or a wood one at that, might not be best for your team, but with our resources and skills it is.
