Consider that part retracted. Though, in number of students it is small. But the name is big. It may just be that your bot is awesome this year, or that your team does a ton with community, or something completely different...but I've sure heard 330/Beachbots a lot this year. I really meant know offense in my words earlier.

Also, I would agree with the 6K-7K estimate to being more reasonable. Though, this can be done without a kitbot frame. Just depends on if you already have most of the tools.(or access to them) I think that most of the tools you will need for building a bot are pretty available be it through a school or a company. I'm sure someone will let you use their tools if you explain everything.
