Do old robots get to Heaven?

Now that our team has several robots from the past 3 years, we are not 100% sure what to do with them. This is their story:

The game with the chin-up bar (2 years ago): if you remember, our first robot was not so good (it's a long story). after the season, the robot was promptly scrapped and turned into a post-season funbot that did really well in some post-season competitions. It has been gutted for parts which were used in a programming robot for the next year. It's cold, 80/20 carcass sits in our mentor's basement.

The game with the tetras (I can't remember what it was called at the moment): since we did so extremely well with that robot (won NJ and almost won VCU), it is still intact and sits in our science teacher's classroom as a monument to our best year ever.

Aim High robot (this year): it is now on it's way back from Atlanta and will be used in several post season competitions. we're not sure where it is headed after that, but it's way too cool to be dismantled.

So, what I want to know from other teams is, what do YOU do with old robots? where do they go for some well needed R & R??
