You can see Ken Gracey's absolutely beautiful CNC'ed wooden robotic platform at http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=10&m=414706 . I'm here to show the other end of the homebrew spectrum, the "poor cousin" robot I cobbled together with just a Harbor Freight bandsaw and drill press! The only thing our robots have in common is wood, but I'm excited at the possibilities of my inexpensive platform.
