Re: What do you guys do with your old robots?

330 has kept robots for a while now, but also takes parts from them--in order:
1997: not sure
1998: Somewhere at JPL
1999: In pieces somewhere...
2000: The "hook" on that, along with the upper stage of the lift, are in one shop; the rest is...
2001: Frame together, turntable together in another place. Stopped working for the last time in 2003.
2002: We'll never get that one completely apart... Doesn't run, but mostly together in one shop.
2003: Joins 2002, but might run again if the gearboxes were maintained.
2004: Still running, but it's been used as a practice/defense robot for some time now. Parts have been removed; the lift no longer runs due to motor removal for use in 2005 competition.
2005: Runnable, though not in competition form. Should be restored, but not sure when that'll happen.
2006: Running, used as defense.
2007: Running, though used as practice robot.
2008: Running.

1135, on the other hand, only has space for one or two FRC robots. Non-performers that aren't current get taken apart, save for 2003 (stolen).
