Re: Other uses for robots
Old robots make great props, even if they don't necessarily work any more. When we have our launch meeting at the beginning of each year, we have several of our old robots present (two, at the least). Even though they've been cannibalized for parts (such as surgical tubing and Victors, and old controls items for use on test chassis'), they still look really cool. 1189 is participating in our city's Santa parade on Friday, and we have our 2008 robot on our "float" along with our Lunacy bot.
We also always keep one in a working condition to do driver trials during build season, since our robots never seem to be done in time to test them out properly :/
