You can see most of the robot...

Good luck

[megaman_22201]

that sucks, i know how you feel...

our robot was also stolen 2 years ago, it sucked major. we had the news cover our story but we never got our robot in the end.

but on the bright side, we did give F.I.R.S.T. a lot of TV time

Yes, that is the kidnapped bot. We have the turret, shooter and gum-ball-machine hopper. We have been modifying the shooter for proto-typing; that is why the stripped base was on site. It's just too bad that we never have weight for the GPS locator

If only you had the new system in the bot and the bot was on...you could set up a control station in the back of someones car and drive around town....then you could use the live video feed when you were within range to find out where the bot was
lol, good luck finding your bot though

Wow....that sucks big time....hope you find it!

[Pjohn1959]

Man that's really a low blow.

I would have thought that with all the sensors you guys put on those 'bots, that one of them would have been a GPS, so you could keep track of it.

I hope that you can get it back, since it is part of your team's history.

maybe we should put an extra lock on our doors?...

That's really too bad that someone stole your robots. On the plus side, at least it wasn't the 2009 robot the day before ship... But it's awful losing any robot. I hope you get it back.

It wasn't inside we placed it outside to save a little room while we get everything put together inside. then we went outside to bring the robot back inside and it was gone. When we found out it was gone the entire team scrambled in their cars and went searching.

WANTED* Albert - Blue moped - Orange jumpsuit - of course the 2006 robot

UPDATE! Robot found. Well, pieces of robot anyway. I haven't seen what is left of it. I got a call from the police this afternoon that they had spotted it (it is great to live in a small town!) but the guy wouldn't open his door.

So I dispatched a couple of mentors with a truck to accompany the officer to pick it up. Apparently it had been stripped, but they gathered up what they could.

The poor robot had quite an adventure, I'm sure!

That's wonderful news! Even though it's not the whole thing, even the remaining parts can be reused for future bots

Will you be able to post pictures of what is left (after you are able to see it), I'm interested to see what they took (yes I know that's a weird request, but I'm wondering why he didn't scrap the whole thing).
