do you have any part of previous years robots in your house

[Kristi]

of course! there's a gear my dad modified... the custom electronics board from last year's robot (replete with sweat and tears)... and the sliver of 80-20 that I have on a necklace!

And speaking of housing robots at your house, I had our robot from last year under my mom's grand piano for 4 or so days. When we opened up the wings and the lift... It looked like it was holding up the piano. Unfortunately, we didn't get pictures .

Unfortunatly many of the parts from my old high school robot have been canibalized for other projects. I do, however, have an authentic battle worn front panel from our 2003 robot, comeplete with all the dents and knicks a good seasoned robot should have.

geesh...my garage stores the CHAOS 131 editions of 2000, 2001,2002,2003 and 2004 will be here soon since our "official' season is over. All are still in working order. The 1994 edition was just given to some team members last week to "get working".

I've got a rotating light, a victor, and the casing and magnets from a chipperwohl (sp?) motor.

Pulled it all out of the bad parts bin at Small Parts in Houston. (I was one of the guys working there) We had a lot of fun with that chipperwohl motor magnet...we magnetized all of the scissors at Small Parts, and de-magnetized this one guy's hotel key...

I have part of the blue lens cover we smashed in Long Island last year, and I have part of this years bot too. At the UTC regional they cut off part of our front to get the ball grabber working better so they gave me the pieces since it was the top of the bulldog that I had worked on to get CNC'ed(I also have the same piece from our practice bot becuase they just chopped that off last night.)

Also our coach this year has the hand from our 02' bot because it was her hand shrunk to 60% of its original size.

I got 1.6 pounds of "useless" weight cutt off of last years "OPPS!!!!!" sitting on my bed stand with a little plaque that I still need to put on to commemorate and remember the worst of times along with the best of times (though nobody is taking a saw to this years robot I'll have to settle for a picture or a piece of prototype)!

[Wetzel]

I've part of Heartburns 2003 robot, and random parts of old 116 robots. I had a 30 lb sliding lift system for awhile. They cleaned shop viciously last summer and I saved some things.

All our robots are still together sitting at school - all in working condition. We used last years to help practice for this years (used to push balls). The only parts we would be able to get are scraps from something that we didnt like and had to take off.

I've got the mounting bracket from last years rotating light on 1018. We had a light that rotated up and down to clear the bar, but it kept getting smashed and the servo kept dying so we replaced it and I took the bracket.I was eyeballing other spare parts last time I was home, but didn't take any.
