Re: 2006 Robot: Mash it or Stash it?
One of our mentors is hiding the '06 bot at one of the captains' houses to prevent its destruction. We used to scrap robots, but 05 and 06 are still intact. (although i think 05 has lost some electronics). We rebuilt a fleet of 4 or 5 bots to do some playtesting last year. For the most part, the drivetrains were intact, but we had to drop in new electronics. The end effectors on our older bots are all but non-existent.
I'd like to keep the 06 bot for practical reasons. It's a crowd pleaser. It will be great for demos and fundraisers.
