I'm not as close to 522 as I used to be due to my work schedule but from their first robot to the current one are kept in a nice size room that way they can do some public relations tasks and get some excersize. The Girls; as they are still considered are well maintained and get their monthly maintenance. Well except their 2003 robot, she was canabalized so that the 2004 robot can have a somewhat similar mentality
I try to prevent the coaches from taking apart the girls only b/c each one has its story and if you take them apart no one will be around to tell the story.
As for spare parts theres no such thing as "SPARE", however there are such things as a prototype & "TEMPORARY" parts
