You could always get out the old bolt cutters and take a bit of time and chop that padlock off...it may take some time and effort, but it will do the job. :p

It is really a shame that your OI was taken. It was most likely just some kids who, as you said, thought oh look, joysticks! and took off with it. I couldn't imagine somoene on your team ripping you off, because they have just as much pride in a working robot as does you and the rest of your team.

The auto shop, fenced area, and anything stored there are the school's responsibility. If the school district doesn't carry theft insurance, then replacement should come out of the general fund. Either way, the district should replace the OI.

intruiging .... but thats saying its the schools fault.... i thought we were all in agreement that it was those wipper snappers fault :rolleyes:

Re: Alert: Stolen Operator Interface!
 

Ours was generally in the school's shop. The guy with the key is helping us, and janitors are helpful. Currently, stuff's with mentors.

Did you tell the school? Do you know of anyone who might do that? was anything else broken/damaged/etc? Were the doors locked? What else was in the crate?
