Would you or your team ever sell your old robot(s)?

[Ashley Christine]

Well, for me, my team has only made one bot since it was our first year. And for a first year bot it was amazing. And so I think I would want the school/team to keep it to show what an awesome job was done just in the first year.

Its the baby. You cant let it go!

haha

...and oh yeah, who in their right mind would sell their baby?

I really don't think our team would sell any of our robots. Although apparently some have gone "missing" or have been completely stripped down for later robots using similar parts or for prototype bots. If we were to do something with our bots rather than let them sit around in "the cage" we would probably give one to our primary sponsor, rather than sell it to them (mostly because they have literally already paid for it.)

If times were desperate and we were short on money or if we didn't have a place to keep them all (we are almost to this point). Otherwise, I'm pretty sure they would be kept.

I actually wanted the team to spend a little money and restore them all (because all the previous ones have been partially stripped and are in various states of disrepair) but I don't think they are interested.

We used to cannabalize them (the 1993 bot is just a frame) but we would not sell that robot.
We're trying to sell this one.

Your's for only $10,000.
