What do you do with your old robots?

[Josh Hambright]

We had been saving our robots though for space reasons we scraped rowdy 1...our first robot our team built....
we still have the last 2 though...
I think that one kid on our team took home the bent up frame of rowdy 1 and has it in his room... i have one of the bumpers of this past years robot (rowdy 3) cuz i was proud of how mangled i had made a piece of angle alluminum....

We usualy use them for demonstrations and are always driving them around at PR events...the robot from 2 years ago is much better for this with its big ball manipulator and huge lift...this years robot just sorta drives and grabs goals...nothing spectacular.

Big MOE has been stripped

Lil MOE is in a glass container with an air-tight lock, surrounded by sensors and motion detectors. It is in a remote cave in the depths of the Grand Canyon, where it is monitored daily by Action Joe(engineer) whose whole life is dedicated to making sure the temperature stays right, not to cold, but not to hot, and that Lil MOE may be sealed forever, unblemished so our grandkids can experiece the sight and sounds of a god-like lime green machine.




P.S. HAHAHA you MOE guys cant hurt me, I am all the way down here


P.P.S. please dont send george

1999 - Scrapped, it never really worked anyway, we have the ladder of it still somewhere I think.

2000 - Rebuilt Last summer, currently awaiting the re-installment of electronics

2001 - Working Great, used for P.R. and pratice.

2002 - Off-Season Comps. P.R.

Also during the season we turned the prototype into a fully functioning copy of the final product, during off-seasons we tore it apart and now it is hanging from the celing of our off-site shop.

We also built a robot we call "Slanty" durring the summer of 2001, that we use for P.R. and fun, cause it is fun!

We also have some other random prototype from this past season hanging on the shop wall.
