Re: Robot Storage

We keep our old robots on top of some storage shelves at IFI. We have every robot since 1993 lined up, in chronological order. A few of the oldest ones aren't very recognizable anymore, but everything from 1999 on is mostly intact. The world champions (1993, 2008) get a special display location in the VEX lab. It's pretty cool to see a visual history of our team's past.

On a related note - when I was on 126, they had all the old robots hanging from the ceiling like 16 does. Pretty neat idea if you want to save floor space... just make sure you have solid cables and attachment points!
