Re: Would you or your team ever sell your old robot(s)?

Robots from past years still in one piece? What an amazing concept. Our robots always get cannibalized either in the off season while teaching the new students about building robots or during the build season while the programmers need a test bed for code and such and the current bot isn't running. We have several frames laying around, but we find the parts all to useful for other things. Not to mention, during the off season we like to show off our past creations in attempts of gaining sponsors and enlightening younger students (particularly elementary and middle school age groups). As we get more and more robots, we will quickly run out of room for them (assuming they remain in one piece). However, so long as we retain the photos and the CAD drawings and the important parts (the bumpers that were banged up within 30 seconds of being on the field, the failed and successful mechanisms and such) to hang on our wall of robotic graveyard we will be content.
So in answer to your question, I dont think there would be much of anything to sell. Although if a team or group or something really wanted it, I am sure we would attempt to make them happy.
