i would like to point out that the robot was drawn up on cad before so they only budgeted what they needed for that robot, when your starting up you usually don't have students who know cad and you need parts to prototype with that may not make it to the final robot. so a starter kit may be necessary and also i remember my first robot in high school no cad, barely any math, just kinda fooled around with parts until i came up with something that almost worked. and even if you cad your robot, you go through several iterations to really get it right.

you cant develop robots like these on a $1500 budget.
