Our money isn't substantially down, though it has dropped some.
I have to admit, seeing people post pictures of 16 wheels and 8 crab drive modules makes me insanely jealous. We have enough to get to our competitions, but we count every penny we spend. We have discussions over whether buying an extra 4 wheels is worth it to outfit our 07 robot, etc.
We're lucky enough this year to have access to a machine shop. However, they're tight on budget too and we have to be careful to only ask them to do our most critical stuff.
Last year we bought some supershifters and that was our huge purchase. We still talk about how expensive they were
