I think I'll be a little more clear. We do remove and save all the motors, chain, sprockets, electrical and pneumatic components as spares and/or prototype use. This is what I refered to as the dismantle part. Several of our robots had TIG welded aluminum frames, arms, ect. and were cut up (the destroy part) and taken to a scrap dealer for the money. Needless to say cutting your robots up and selling them for scrap is one "fundraiser" I don't personally look forward to or endorse!
