Hopefully, they'll store one of the Atlas prototypes with long-term archival preservation in mind. Atlas may have a long and robust second act as a working exhibit in a future history museum.
I am sure they will save a few robots as museum pieces. As it happened with Rodney Brooks' Cog robot [1].
The sad part about these endings is that although the actual artifacts may be preserved, the know-how which went into their creation is at best partially documented. There is seldom a detailed post-mortem analysis that examines what went right and what could have been done better.
