95: God knows where that is. It's probably in a junkyard by now.

96: I believe that still has the original drive train. The mechanics for the arm need replacement, and it needs a control system (more on this later).

97: The drive train was torn out the next year and placed in that robot. Besides a new control system (and the train), everything from the arm to the flipper is still good.

98: All that needs is a new control system.

99: Fully functional. I think the basket may be detached, but that is easy to place on.

00: Fully functional. Neither of the 2 arms we made are currently on it, but they were meant to be interchangable, so that shouldn't be a problem.

01: Fully functional.

Back to control systems: one of the engineers a couple years back came up with a system that could control the robot the same way the FIRST controllers would. It's pretty cool, and in '00, we used it for prototyping. It would make a nice project to repair those old robots.
