Last year alone:
$150 for the CMU
$300 for two gearboxes (estimation)
$100 for the kit frame

As an aside, those items almost certainly cost less. Im not sure about the CMU cam, since they may have had to pay for them all, and didn't get them donated, but it surely can't cost $300 for the transmissions and $100 for the frame, because IFI wouldn't be selling them at cost to us as aftermarket parts.

I can't see this ending up as a positive if they're put in the kit. If Team A gets 4" wheels, they'll complain since they want 6". If Team B gets 6" wheels, they'll complain that they wanted 4". Team C will complain that they wanted the 1/2" bore, not 3/8" Team D will complain that there's only two of them. Team E will complain that their robot can't turn because of IFI.

If these were "one size fits all", I could see them sending them out in the kit, but why send out a wheel that has so many different options? 4" 6" 8" roughtop or wedgetop 3/8" or 1/2" bore. 1" 1.5" or 2" width.
