Go to Post when answering a question you throw out other teams names (thunder chickens and killer bees)...and a distinguished guest raises his hand and asks if he heard right when I said thunder chickens and asks for an explanation of what a thunder chicken is. - Devon27 [more]

Re: Build a robot with a $1000 budget

The Vex controller is just generally really useful to have and the controller is nice / better anyway. So great for quick prototypes!

Anyway here's how I'd do it assuming the cost for attaching the superstructure is negligible:
1 Vex v.5 controller and transmitter combo ($50-$100 on eBay)
1 IFI Kitbot ($190) and some AM Toughbox Nanos ($160 total) with CIMs ($60 total) (you can use the AM kitbot too, I just figure the adjustable wheel positioning might be better)
1 FIRST PDB ($190)
1 120 amp breaker ($30)
Various wire, a pegboard for electronics, other stuff ($50)

total <$800
