Our whole setup ran us $370~. We got two of these setups, one for our production bot and one for our practice bot. A little pricy but will carry though out the years from bot to bot for vision processing or even make a decent CAD machine if vision isn't as necessary in years to come.

Questions concerns or comments are welcome!

Oh nice! We settled with a laptop so we wouldn't have to deal with power supply and threw in a 32 gb ssd, and also having a monitor is nice for debugging. We were looking at compact embedded board, but every company I talked to seemed to be scared to give me a quote in quantity 1.

I thought that the $400 rule was per component, so couldn't one theoretically put an i7 machine on the robot?
