Re: Do old robots get to Heaven?
team 578 was originally sponsored by Kodak in '97 and '98. The robot they built in '97 was very robust and had a simple 2 wheel drive train.
R2K2 was still in use a few years ago as a driving practice robot by team 578.
Generally speaking, robots that are robust and can be driven without a 1:1 drive:repair ratio tend to stick around for a long time. Robots that break after every 15 minutes of use tend to get canabalized for their control system and motors.
