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

I dont think Wheeler would ever sell any of our robots. There ar so many memories that we have with those robots ever year. Such as this year, spinning in circles at like 60rpm+ for 2 straight matches, or righting ourselves up at Peachtree in the quarterfinals and then breaking in the process. And in 2004 winning Peachtree.

In short 1002 would probably sell our souls before we sold our robots.

i think our team has been doing first for 7 or so years and i dont think we have a SINGLE robot. its allmost a tradition to canabalize them. im trying to buy a controller from our team since we have a huge stack of them held together by rubberbands.

Our team has tried really hard not to cannibilize our robots, the result being that we have 3 very cool looking, fully functional robot that we can use for demonstrations. But the bot from 4 years ago didn't fair so well. We've channeled all of our cannibilism at it, and it had stripped of almost all of it's parts. Well, we were facing storage issues, so it had to go. The funny part was that after the mentors threw it away, some team members went dumpster-diving for what was left of it.

Last I heard, it was being converted into the ultimate lawnchair transport...

We'll see how that turns out

As for the bots that were built before that... Noone has really been able to find out. But I think we all know happened

our team has the perfect solution. we just built a shed and hold everything in there.
