Actually, we weren't planning on mounting the cold cathodes, yet, if at all. We are still working on the stingers, but they aren't that big of a problem, yet. Our robot currently only has a finished drive train and frame, the rest is still in progress, and should be finished by the end of Week 4. I think the total for the entire rack came to less than $300. I'll get an exact total if I can. If any of you guys are from Missouri and you want to practice with us, then send me an e-mail at
