Build Cheap, Test Early

Scrap Wood is ideal when the shape is still changing. Use it to validate wheel spacing, steering clearance, and storage position, then reinforce only the parts that have proved useful.

  • Keep moving joints visible during the first test.
  • Replace exposed load paths before entering heavy combat.
  • Recover unused blocks instead of abandoning old prototypes.
