For larger builds there are the 'TrussFab' type designs using plastic pop bottles.

I wonder what other recycled household items have ended up in creative geometric structures.

Great idea for a maze. I had a maze for robots many years ago, probably in the 90's, for the mobile robot maze solving competitions that were popular at that time. Regretfully I never actually got around to making a working maze solving mobile robot. I had some none working ones, but none that actually found paths.

Excellent project Doug. Have just assembled a Ikea bed that used flat panels in grooves in wood to stiffen up an assembly. So routed wood or bolted together extrusion is another approach.
