The budget was $300 for all materials. We spent probably half of that on what was on the version of our robot that you see in the picture. We had few design iterations. We controlled ours through a tether with the drill handles as the controls. To operate the arm, we connected the Fisher Price motor to a 7.2v drill handle and battery.
Two of the robots were completely radio control, using cheap, hobby controllers. Even though the controllers where cheap, that didn't leave much room in their budget for much else.

And your other point, "why a debate over a nonexistent rule?". Its summer, we're not building robots, and we're geeks. What else are we supposed to do? - EHaskins [more]
