sidewinder is an unknown quantity at this point
Our old robots serve many uses. We use them to train rookie drivers, recruit, test drive trains for the present years game, and show off.

We have been a team for 5 years now but only three robots still function. The Mystery Machine (99) is still alive and kickin but we have to replace its tranny. Frostbite 1 & 2 are still prefectly funtioning and we'll show um off this summer with the mystery machine at the Ann Arbor Art Fair and The Ypsilanti Heritage Festival, we hope to be joined again by our first ofspring team 470 (3rd year), and our new creation 830 of ann arbor. We'll have at least seven working bots for these events.

Our first 2 years robots faired very diffrently. Our rookie bot (97) lives on in pictures only, she was stripped until unrecognisable then just dumped. Our second bot The BEAST lives missing only her drive motors.
Plans are underway though to rebuild both bots over summer. Our hope is to rebuild both with new innovative drive trains (heavy tread, and crab).

In the off time we store all bots in our wood shop. While not being on display we pull them out usually every week for a demonstration somewhere in the community.
