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

They work great as prototypes! Salvaging the drivetrains from past robots to speed up the testing process is immensely useful. We used the 2007 robot last year to test out our mechanisms early in the build season. An interesting side effect is that our designs end up being very modular...

Our modified 2007 bot on the left, and our nearly finished 2008 bot on the right. They're almost twins!
