Our 2002, 2003 and 2004 robot were always used for spare parts. The 2005 robot was the first robot we tried to keep intact because we considered it our first successful robot. After that one, we knew we had no intention of keeping the 02,03 and 04 robots and completely dismantled them. However, some miscommunication with younger students lead to some slightly valuable parts accidently being thrown away (whoops).

Now after four years, the 05 bot has slowly lost parts, so were stripping it down to its frame and giving away its custom parts and frame to the students who built it (now alumni) as mementos. By the way, any 766 alumni reading this, message me to get your memento.

So the functioning robots we have go back to 2006. You can imagine, our closet is very full but I think its a lot more fun and educational to have these robots. We are very excited that we get to play with 5 robots this summer. But If we need the parts, one more bot will be on the chopping block.
