Re: Old Robots?

We keep the arms from our old bots.

The only thing that's left from our 97,99, and 00 are the arms shown there. The 2001, 2003, 2004, one of the 2005s and both 2006s are all basically stripped. Some of them have been used in past years for prototyping and off season projects, but none of them run anymore.
One of our 2005 robots is still whole and working, minus the gripper. We use it to play defense for drive practice, and we did some prototyping with it this year.
The 2002 robot is still totally intact and hopefully soon I'll have an update for everyone about it.

One of the things I would like to do this summer is take apart all the old robots once and for all. They are taking up a lot of space at our facility and aren't being used for anything.
If anyone wants a 'classic' red plywood robot frame, let me know.
