I'm really curious on the cost of this system...

If teams are paying for this system as a package, then does the entire system cost less than $400? It looks like every part is fabricated, just the cost of the machinists time would exceed $400. This doesn't even begin to touch on the cost of material.

This must mean that Outback is selling these systems to teams at a substantially reduced rate and taking a loss, right? Could any FIRST team call up Outback and get this system for $400 or less?
