Re: Robot Storage

Bottom of the pool would be a good option. This space is always underutilized and every swim could be like a wreck drive.

Seriously, though, we are in 9th year as an FRC team; we've built two complete robots for the last three years; and I do not think we have ever had more than 4 assembled robots at any given time. Space limitations are one important reason for this, but so is part recycling. Especially when building two robots, we realize some real savings by recycling old parts.

The robots we keep are kept because we believe that they will be useful. As testbeds. OP-FORCE training robots, or demos. We currently keep 4 working robots (some just as chassis) for these purposes.

We do document our robots thoroughly, so as not to lose institutional knowledge when we disassemble an old robot.
