ya this is our robot all out of cheap easy to break plywood and old warped 2 by 4's. See all of you in Florida. (This served as a test. this is a wooden mock-up…the metal is much better.)
we make most of our prototypes out of wood
last year we used a 4X4 that was sitting around in my garage for about 10 years to make our spool and it turned out great
Are you guys as worried about finishing in time as I am about your wheels being broken off?
Not at all. Don’t know how, but we will have it done. =)
Oh, and alekat, the dowels holding the wheels on have already split. 
very nice prototype
so…how much does it weigh?
Where does the electrical board go? We made our prototype out of old 80/20
its nice to finally see some more rotating shooters
Who uses wood these days anyway? We haven’t used it on our robot this year, honest 
laughs at self
We do. 
We used wood on most of our prototypes.
