We keep all of the team robots. The smaller, older ones decorate the walls of the classroom. The larger FIRST robots are stored safely. Last week the team took extra precautions to raise them off of the floor and cover them in plastic sheeting just in case there is another major roof leak over the summer break. There are so many uses to be had, so many opportunities. One that I can think of is how the new team members like to disassemble and reassemble parts of the robots as a learning process. I do have to admit to being sentimental towards the robots though - absotively posilutely.
