Nope
(holy smokes... after posting this, I noticed that this post is ABOVE DJ's post, which I was referring to)
Naaa, it's not that much, DJ.
The big bucks come into play when a team needs the entire field and electronic hardware from FIRST.
In order to just get the field controller electronics from FIRST, it's not that expensive. They want the team to cover shipping costs and also insurance for any damage. I'm not sure what that totals, but it's not close to $5,000. I would guess that it's closer to $1,000. But, FIRST has not settled on a price for this.
For the upcoming IRI, FIRST is going to rent (loan) us these things:
2 LED's (timer only on both ends)
2 white arena towers
1 master control box (sits at scoring table)
E-stops for both sides
associated wiring harnesses
Red and Blue indicator lights
Notice that this only includes enough hardware to run 2 alliance stations on each end of the field... not 4.
