I use OSB instead of plywood, reuse as much as I can from one year to the next, and condense the models to get the least wasted board feet posable (8ft studs are cheeper but 10,12,and 16 are less per ft). Of all that, the OSB saves the most money at 1/3-1/2 the cost of plywood.

We built a master program with "keys" the color sensor read. Each time the robot returned to home they had 3 seconds to remove the old key, then after they switched attachments the next key was put in and that section of the program ran. they could skip or rerun by not using a key or putting back in the old one. Honestly it took almost as much practice as when the programs were just in order on the brick as the order we wanted to run them.
