Don't destroy your robot, donate it to a good cause:

• Give it to a pre-rookie team
• Offer it to rookie teams so they have something to use at demos
• Put parts of it up on CD-Swap (controllers, sensors, motors) people are always looking for something. Maybe you can make money off it, maybe they'll pay for shipping.
• Use it as a test chassis for future ideas
• Rework it to do something cooler
• Put it in a display case
• Find someone on the team that will give it a good home (and easy access for future use)

1403 is bringing our robot to Ramp Riot! After that, we'll stash it.

I think we're just going to put ours in to storage for a while. If it weren't for all the cool features on the robot like the Mecanum drive and the shooter, I think we would have recycled it.(RiverRage really did a number on it)

As for our 2005 robot, we still work on programing with it. It's a sturdy bot I think we'll be testing on for quite a while. All we have left of our older robots are about 3 different arms hanging around in a closet.
