Hey hey! Just as great as the Original Tadpole, but with 100% more wood! I was shopping on the ol' eBay's and came across some 3mm birch plywood, usually used in model airplanes. I thought to myself, man, that would look really good as a robot chassis. ---And it does!  I do have to say I see the irony here, this is "Chris the Carpenter's" first wood robot. --Really? It took me what, 4 or 5 years before I thought of putting my two loves together? Sheesh!
