Re: Building Green... What are teams doing?

we use our leftover aluminum shavings to make thermite and then use that to melt down the rest of our scrap.

jk. we actually reuse most of our aluminum parts. we have only bought 8020 once and we dont keep our old robots on display, we scrap them for parts and gear boxes. recently the only things we have disposed of were some extremly old steel kitbot parts from like a decade ago and old control system stuff.
