We've been forced to keep our competition robot in top shape due to not having another reliable Demo robot.
2009 was stripped of it's electrical components and It's body resides at one of our local sponsers.
2010 we don't talk about
2011 still runs, but has a large 3 stage arm that makes it very dangerous, especially since people who drive our robot love to spin in circles.
So far we've had 3 off season events, and are planning on doing one more. We've also done more demonstrations then I can count, we are actually doing one today in fact. One of the good things is that we can show the new team members how to work on the robot. For replacing 1/4 of our drive train, to replacing tread on our tires.
