I am not too sure of the exact figures, but I know that we only had about $15,000 to play with; That was all the money we had to build the robot, to buy parts, and to buy anything else that we needed. To lower the cost of the trip (money to pay for hotel rooms, food, plane tickets) we had to do A LOT of fundrasing.
As for the second part of the question, we have two electrical engineers (with mechanical engineering backgrounds), one computer engineer, one machinist, and many many adult mentors. What is a stipend? I guess if you are talking about compensations, well all I have to say is they do it for the love of it.
P.S. I hope this helps you.
