Re: Some Questions from a rookie team.
The money for parts obviously depends on what parts you use.
We spent about $3,500 last year (also our rookie year) on parts. We used T-Slots (Aluminum Extrusion) which was pretty cheap for the actual extrusion (maybe $500 or so total) but the brackets and bolts were INSANELY expensive, and ran us a few grand.
extrusion may have been about $1,000 actually.. I can't remember.
So yeah, if it's extrusion, which is a typical choice for an FRC rookie team, $2,000 may or may not cut it depending on a variety of factors.
