Re: Robot Storage Time Limit
We have a very large storage area at our disposal, and we are going to be keeping all of the robots for the foreseeable future. However, that wasn't always the case, and our 1997-1999 robots were completely dismantled.
I hear the the 1999 frame is still around somewhere, but I've never seen it.
We have the shell of the 2000, but no controller or other electronics.
The 2001 bot is also very stripped out, controls and the like.
2002 runs great, we use it for driver practice.
The 2003 bot had one of it's rear drive turrets dismantled and a few members took pieces from it, but I don't think they were supposed to take from that one. Otherwise 2003 should work if we were to ever put the parts back on.
The 2004 bot drives great, but during the 2005 season, we killed the motor running the second stage of the arm picking up tetras.
The team decided that the 2005 bot will be maintained in top, running condition indefinitely for obvious reasons. Currently the potentiometer controlling the arm needs to be adjusted for it to work properly.
The 2006 bot will be running at IRI and possibly Kettering Kickoff.
We also have our last OCCRA robot, but it doesn't drive anymore, we gave up on it.
The chassis and frame of the original CASEY bot are intact, but sans a controller. We might make something as a fun project out of it in the future.
Also, CASEY 2.0 is happily driving around blowing balloons for kids.
