Re: Do old robots get to Heaven?

Old robots get re-incarnated, we don't let them die.

We typically only keep a robot functional for 2 years; after that it is torn apart for parts/saving space/senior gifts (our team has had a tradition to give seniors a piece of the robot from their rookie-year on the team when they graduate).
Currently our 2001 and 2002 bots have no noticable parts left, not even an old frame to be found.
2003 has its frame lying around, but that's really it.
2004 is missing its RC, a few victors, and a 40 amp fuse block, and a few random parts for seniors. It's execution date is this Thursday, though a few parts will be saved since alot of our club will be graduating next year, and this was their rookie robot (me included).
2005 is funcitonal, though a few screws are loose and one or two of its fuses are dead. It's only missing one decorative piece and won't lose anything else this year.
2006 is sitting here in my garage. It will only be losing some bumpers and some lexan, though it might have the drive system changed during experiments this summer.

The only thing that's survived from all 6 years' robots is our monkey Rage.
