Re: What do you do with a robot at the end of the season?

Good fundraising idea! Might have to get my team in on this!

In all reality:
In the past we have had to take apart our non-working robot. Last year we used the parts to build an offseason bot. The offseason bot worked wonderfully, so we keep it as a nice piece to tell sponsors and school board about when they visit our lab. This year's bot is being modified for offseason competitions, but we will likely keep that since our budget has gotten much bigger and now allows to buy all new parts every year, and the fact that the robot works for demo purposes.
