well, you missed one option on the poll. what about 3 FIRST, no off-season? since 810 was a rookie team, we had no idea about any off-season stuff, and by the time we figured it out, it was too late to plan it all.
conditions of the robot, hmm. well, the motors are still running perfectly, chain is a bit looser, but still stays on (oh yes, i have a thing against chains from this year), the tires are all destroyed, but that's our fault (screws in the tire DO NOT prolong tire life), the treads are faded, a bit thinner, but overall intact, the extrusion was loose (we fixed it!) and the paint all scratched, and carpet fuzz all over everything (our bot was a lint magnet). actually, if you want to see some bad pics of how our robot looks, go here...

that should work, i cna't check it from here because the stupid proxy server blocks it (i have no idea why). shows the condition of parts of the robot before and after cleaning. in general, the robot is ever bit as robust as it was, and it still does what i want it to do. it is a very well design (thanks michael!

) and it lasted, and it will last, a very long time, or at least that's my plan. i want to hang it in the science research room at my school
