Robot Storage Time Limit

[Jherbie53]

This is to officially start a thread about how long you store your robot, and is an offshoot from the thread about Robot Ethics. This is different from How Many Robots Does Your Team Keep, there it talks about how many you keep. I want to know if you don't have room for more than 3-4 robots, when do you "breakdown" the robots. Also do you keep a robot that has had a great season and never do anything to it or just until you run out of room for it.

I know there are teams that store all of their past robots, which I think a lot of teams really wish they could. But then there are teams like mine, where last years robot only survives until after the next season is over and we turn our attention to the new robot. Then during the fall we dismantle the robot and reuse what we can from it.

Anyhoo, when should a robot be "broken down", when you don't have the space to store it? Thats my question.
