So, of course, you'll make sure to solve all these problems before you even consider putting this on your robot....

Annnyways. A good Q&A to pose to the poor GDC early on would be how to account for such a system. Do you price the RAM, processor, drive, power supply, etc separately if you buy the separately and assemble it yourself? What if you buy it as a system? What if you buy a system but partially disassemble it? This obviously similarly applies to mechanical systems, of course, but the PC system got me thinking about it.
