We never dispose our old robots and we try to avoid cannibalizing the robots as much as possible.
Pretty much the same here, except we have our '92 bot and we cannibalize our electronics to save money. But we have some demo bots specifically like the meccanum bot and the mecannon bot (rackstar's twin with a t-shirt cannon and meccanum wheels).
