We've never been to an offseason event, so once competition is done theyre totally retired.
We didn't keep our rookie bot and scrapped one other for room (a sad loss). The rest we keep in our closet and use them for demos and such. We are thinking of having a new members project be to better the robots (fix up messy wiring jobs etc).

Our team uses them for the RINOS Pre-Rookie effort. The idea is to lend out old robots to prospective schools for off-season competitions who are looking to join FIRST the upcoming year. It's a great investment into the future. For more information, http://www.raiderrobotix.org/RINOS.html
