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

We have all 15 years of them, including the 2013 twins, the 2014 twins, and the 2016 twins. So I think that makes for 18 robots. We had twins in 2006 and 2007 but those practice bots have since been disassembled. 2015 was the tipping point where we really had to make some changes to our storage space. We now have our two 2016 robots lingering about in the lab, because they do not yet have any permanent home.

For the teams that have been around as long as we have and have kept them all, what do you do with them?

In the Fall, we're hoping to begin refurbishing ours back to functional status starting with the newest and working our way back.
