Re: What do you do with a robot at the end of the season?
Due to build space being at a premium, we've only kept intact our 2013 and 2016 bots. The 2016 bot and its twin are likely going to be kept around for off-season events or projects, and the 2013 bot is the show-off bot we bring to events, fundraisers, etc.

Many of the more recent challenges, 2013 and 2016 especially, have produced a lot of kid-friendly robots, and I've heard a lot of teams on this thread express that the 2016 bot is likely to be kept for a while. Not a surprise that 2015 bots aren't kept at as high a clip... even though I've seen many awesome RR bots, they're much more difficult to transport, and watching a bot shoot Frisbees, basketballs, etc. generally attracts more kids than watching a bot stack totes.
