Re: Storage Hunter Finds a FRC Robot

Although it appears staged (and it probably is), is it possible that it was someone's side project and they had absolutely no clue what they were doing? Say this person got an old '07 bot that had already been gutted for parts, and tried to piece it back together into working condition year by year as they could.

The only things wrong with this theory are:
1) Why would someone spend money on trying to fix something that they obviously have no clue how to fix?
2) Why would they have that battle bot that looks as to be in good condition?

If it was staged, I just don't know why it would be staged this badly. As it was mentioned before, it would have been cool for them to have found a working FRC bot, and be able see them run it. Even a mention of FIRST would have been nice. Instead, they claimed that it was built by MIT.

Things just don't add up. There are too many unexplained details.
