Re: How old is your oldest robot

Our shop is littered with the half-devoured carcasses of old robots. Most of them haven't been used in years so I have no idea if they actually work. Many of them are missing electronic or pneumatic parts, but we can supplement this by using our "briefcase" robot (robot in a box) to control them. There may be other robots around the shop that I haven't listed that are hiding away in the labyrinth that is our shop. There is also a small robot from before bumpers or safety lights that I don't know what year it was for (it was the year of the extending tape measure for those of you who remember that far back).
  • 2000-2002: ???
  • 2003: we have the control panel, but no robot
  • 2004-2008: ???
  • 2009: fully assembled, has all parts to my knowledge, hasn't been used in 5 years
  • 2010: just a chassis stripped of all electronics and manipulators
  • 2011: may be missing some electronics but otherwise fully assembled, will probably run using briefcase
  • 2012: manipulator and chassis both work but they are detached from each other, needs briefcase to run, chassis has been repurposed as demo bot
  • 2013: manipulator and chassis both work but they are detached from each other, chassis runs under own power but manipulator needs briefcase
  • 2014: works as well as it did in competition (not very well)
  • 2015: works well, has all parts

??? means it may be hiding somewhere, completely disassembled, or in parts I don't recognize.
