Nice machine! I love to see plywood used creatively.

Have you ever tried dying it with aniline dyes before you lacquer it? You can get some brilliant colours but still have it look like wood.

Good luck at your competitions!

An artful use of space and support! I love how this fits together.
The wood is looking great too.

This is one of the best looking plywood robots that I've seen in my time in FRC - nicely done!

The name is also pretty much the best.

Can you point me to any products/processes that work well? Before build season I tested a green Minwax water based stain, but the results were kind of ugly. I'd like to play with tinting dyes and shellac, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

I had to look this forum up to make sure that a metal robot wasn't being burned in the recent thread I saw.
