If you purchase an additional RC/OI, victors, you can figure around another $1000 to the budget, right?

If your team has been around in FIRST for a while, then you probably have a boatload of "illegal" electronics and pneumatics laying around, such as Victor 883 speed controllers or Parker/SMC pneumatic cylinders, as well as a lot of parts from previous Kit of Parts.
This year we'll probably put our 2006 KoP IFI trannies on our practice robot, as well as a bunch of Skyway wheels (instead of our custom Aluminum ones). We won't build our entire 80/20 elevator, but I don't see it being out of the question to put an arm and manipulator on it. (Okay, so maybe I just want to revive the Van Door motor.
