I have made it a habit to look inside these boxes near the end of the competition, because there is often gold (as in 'one man's treasure...') mixed in with the bits and pieces. Things like #35 master links, sensors, and other still-useful stuff.

I was at my first IRI this year and the reset crew, after finding Miss Kara on the field during reset one time too many, carried her into the junk box and told her (in a stern voice) to "stay". Shortly thereafter, along wanders Billfred with his cellphone to capture the aftermath, preserving the scene forever.

And now you know the rest of the story.
