This reminds me to mention that just because a you didn't pay for something doesn't mean that it didn't add to the cost. (Some teams seem to forget this when totaling robot cost.)
If I remember correctly, we paid less than 1200 or so out of pocket to build our 2009 robot - but we had a good $500+ of donated belting on there.

I think this can be cleared up easily...one of the New Hampshire teams needs to go dumpster diving at FIRST HQ and look for an invoice. - Vaillancourt88 [more]
