Also where in the manuals does it talk about recording purchases/donations? And about the spending limit on the robot. I can't seem to find it. Also if there is anything else really important that I need to know then please tell me.
Part 1: Pinch points and your entire shooter need to be shielded. Drive chains are also a good idea, but less of an issue right now.

Part 2: Section 5.3.4.3 has the cost accounting rules.

Anything else you need to know: the manual is your friend. I read each manual cover to cover at least once every year, then have to go back into it to help people find rules they didn't find on their own.
