Re: [DFTF] Budgeting for a Competitive Robot...

I am surprised at how low the numbers are really.

If you think about it, every actuator (whether pneumatic or motor) is going to run close to $200 by the time add in all the associated costs.

I suppose that teams have 5-10 actuators all in (not counting wheels as actuators) that $1K-$2K right there.

How are folks doing full up robots for so little?
