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!

asid61An artful use of space and support! I love how this fits together.
The wood is looking great too.

Jacob BendicksenThis 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.
