Lee is on a distinguished road
This is our 4th year in the competition. The first year (2000) was with a minimal budget and support. Our robot was simple and straightforward. Its total cost (including the cost of registration and kit of parts) was about $10,000, including cost of "donated" labor. The 2001 robot was similar. The 2003 robot cost was about $13,000, including estimated cost for donated labor from "partner" machine shops. In all three years we were very competitive, with a simple but robust design. It IS possible to create a competitive robot with the $3500 cost of parts and labor. The REAL cost of a team is travel (and pizza)...
