Re: [DFTF] Budgeting for a Competitive Robot...
Unfortunately, I don't have a detailed break down of our costs available to me at the moment, but last season, we spent ~$7000 to build two "competitive" robots.
A lot of that is shipping; we don't meet often and decisions sometimes come late as a result. We're trying to be better about planning in advance.
I prioritize convenience over price, so we probably buy things that we could make and could save some money there, but I think spending a few hundred dollars more for a few days of extra practice is worth the expense.
We also burned A LOT of money on minibot development last season. Here's hoping that's an idea that never comes around again.
