Re: R22 and Australian FIRST Team (3132)

Steve,
Very few teams ever get close to the $3500. This is simply a constraint on the robot design. Think of it as gravity. Everyone needs to deal with it but it is not out of reach. Read the whole manual and you will see that it is not something to get overly concerned about. I would say that the majority of teams I have inspected average between $400 and $1000.
