Even if you do want to keep every robot for testing, consider exactly what parts you need. Even shortening some down to their chassis will save you a lot of room if you store vertically. We try to be discerning about exactly what type of testbeds we want running given the number of cRios. You can stick them on something like
this, even 4-6 high if you takes lots of the tops off (this is quite an old picture).
Shortening the old robots leaves nice testbeds while also minimizing storage space, freeing up reusable COTS parts, and providing fun, unintense and educational summer work for rookies.
