We have bits and pieces of a few years - just enough that we can demo the robot from that year. We seem to attract the other stuff - like tables and chairs. We've been lucky in that our last three build sites have been good size.

We thought we were going to get a fourth year from our current build site so we really weren't ready for the sudden move. In our 13 seasons (we were team 332 in 1999 and 525 from 2001 on) I think we've moved 7 or 8 times. At least one year we worked from the back of our team leader's classroom.
