I got a six-pack of them at no cost to me. If you're using one clamp-on for each motor at $40 a piece, that could easily add up to multiple hundreds of dollars. Depends on what you're trying to do.
Agreed - I misread the question and thought he was talking about monitoring the entire robot's current consumption. For just monitoring a single motor, the Allegro sensors are great.
