Laser cut baltic birch.... I'm so glad someone else is continuing that. Its such an awesome way to build a robot. I still don't understand why more teams don't embrace the wonder material.

How strong of a laser was used to cut this?

When we had ours cut we were running up to 18mm baltic birch on a 4000 watt laser. I don't know all the details but I know the feedrate on it is super slow in that thickness. It still cut it with no problem though.
