Re: Dumpster Diving

If you consider our robot room a dumpster (which it practically is) some anonymous person (a teacher no doubt, our work-room is at school) came and left a massive card-labeler/reader/addresser/thingy in our room. We took it apart and got all kinds of cool stuff. Including Gilmore belts, a 3 hp AC electric motor, and a whole ton of sensors; with the exception of the Ac motor we will likely be using the belts and sensors on future robots.

As for the legality of dumpster diving I really don't know. But I seriously doubt a cop would give you a ticket for taking card-board-boxes out of Safeway's dumpster.
