Re: How old is your oldest robot

Our 2014 robot is the oldest thing that still resembles a robot. I think we still have the electronics board put together, the shooter is still together, just the pneumatics components (i.e. compressor, tubing, tanks, pressure switch, etc.) have been relocated to the 2015 robot, along with some bearings. We also disassembled our intake for parts. I am hoping we can either restore the 2014 robot or build a new 2014 robot for demo purposes.

Our 2015 robot, for what it is being used for right now (demoing), is still working. However, if we go to an offseason event (still uncertain), we will have to make some repairs to it. (Side note: To anyone who thinks that their 2015 robot is not 'cool' enough to demo to kids or adults, it is. It isn't nearly as cool as a 2012-2014 robot to show off, but if you're enthusiastic (or pretend to be) about what your robot is doing, people will follow suit and also be enthusiastic. And I'm saying this as someone who didn't like RR at all)
