To avoid this type of problem in the future, maybe it would be a good idea if teams taped a CD with the code on it to the robot before mothballing it?
That way, 5 years down the line when no one on the team had the code, it will be sitting there on the CD with the robot.
Just a thought!

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.
