Re: Storage Space & Previous Robots

Doesn't it figure that the year after you disassemble four of your previous robots that you finally get enough storage space to store upwards of ten old robots? Last year we had to disassemble our 2000-2003 robots to save space, and our 2004 robot is practically disassembled. We weren't really going to disassemble our 2004 bot until we took it to a parade and it rained. 'Nuff said.

This year we moved to a different high school in our town and we now have a ton of long term storage space. At least we kept all the major mechanisms from our older robots in one piece, as a kind of museum to our robots of yesteryear.

Our 2005 robot is in one piece, but not in a runnable condition. It seems as if a lot of parts broke on it during / right after Bash at the Beach. A bit of machining will be needed to make new parts. We have long term plans to try to restore it as a project in the fall of 2006. (This is also my favorite robot from our team, so I hope we don't disassemble it. )
