Suggestions for previous years field elements

Heyo! We are a first year team that just ordered the field kit for next year. What do you all do with the previous years field elements? Can we use them for the next years bots or any other suggestions? Thanks!

If the field came with a type of (vex legal) plastic: You can cut and use that. You can use the Star Screws and Nuts that come with the field. Maybe you can use old game pieces. I don’t know about that last one. But I am pretty sure about the others. Good Luck!

Last year, some teams near us donated game scoring elements to a local zoo. They zoo staff was able to use the scoring elements as fun enrichment toys for the animals.

If they are structural IQ pieces, gears, pulleys, belts, etc. I throw them in their kits for future builds. Any pieces that are not IQ pieces I will hang on to and use them for games we make up in my class.
