Re: Practice Robot Cost

Our sponsor usually manufactures 1 or 2 extra of everything for us whenever we send them CAD, just in case they make a mistake (they never do). We basically have everything structural from there. Combined with our teams obsession with buying way too many of everything and a pile of terrible robots to cannibalize, it costs us very little.

Also, the extra control system should be a 1 time cost. By the time you took that spare shooter off and borrowed the wheel assemblies to fix your worn ones, what use is 1/2 a robot? we just reuse our electronics year to year.
