Re: [DFTF] Budgeting for a Competitive Robot...
We were under $1000 this year as a rookie team.
Using just about everything we could from the KOP. We used the kit frame and our lift was just alum sliders and wood. With Brackets for the pneumatic ram (free from bimba) were made out of REM alum we got from the local metal shop, about $2.
It doesn't take much to make a mount for a cylinder or a bracket for a motor.

Though our robot wasn't really that great, it had a good run in off season.
The real cost comes in from prototyping and breaking stuff....
