Re: Post Season Robot Upkeep
Our team has been around since the beginning 21 games ago. We have a lot of bots. Im slightly disappointed in the number of functioning bots we have and I have been taking time to resurrect some of them.
Working bots 1992-Was all intact I just had to find the long black power cable and toggle switches that drove it.
2003 Ball drive bot- This was retrofitted electrically
2007-This was resurrected for software testing
2009-Still functioning but extremely banged up
2011- The comp bot still runs and has some new add-ons; the practice bot was scrapped for parts
2012-We are maintaining both our comp and practice bot because the comp bot is getting a few new add-ons and the practice one was basically rebuilt for IRI
About 1/2 our robots are non functioning either due to electrical or mechanical disrepair. When I get time I try to revive old bots and maintain them. My next project is our 1998 national champ bot. Basically we fix robots semi-regularly and bring bots to demos based on if they are functional.
