Budget
This page includes an itemized account of how much it would cost to recreate this project.
Purchased Items
This table includes items that we purchased for this project. Where applicable, we indicated where we purchased more than we needed.
| Name | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Foam balls | We used these foam balls as ammo for our turret. | 12.80 |
| Ball bearing rollers | We used one of these to support our back leg. | 13.59 |
| Kraken 3S Motor | These are compact high-speed motors for our turret. We bought 3, 2 for the turrent and 1 for backup. | 22.50 |
| MOSFET Trigger Switch Board | These allow us to use a PWM signal to control high-current motors. They came in a 5 pack, and we used 2 of them in our final product. | 11.99 |
| 90 Degree Cable | This 90 degree cable was used to plug into the Euclid without sticking out of the side of the robot. | 9.99 |
| Lipo Indicator | This lipo checker allowed us to monitor our battery voltage while running the robot. | 3.00 |
| Steel Tube | We bought 2 6-ft sections of steel for the turret's legs. Only 1 of these sections are needed to manufacture all of the legs, the other one is extra. | 12.68 |
| NeoPixel | This is the ring light we used to illumiate the turret's eye. | 9.99 |
| PCB | We ordered a PCB that allowed us to interface the Pi with the speakers. | 11.39 |
| TOTAL: | 107.93 | |
Acquired Items
Here are some items that we did not buy, but borrowed or found, that helped make our project possible
| Name | Description | Estimated Price |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Euclid | This was the main computer we used to run our high-level software. | 399.00 |
| PLA | We used approximately 0.5kg of PLA to print our shooter and motor mount parts. We priced it for the approximate cost of one roll. | 12.00 |
| Hardboard | Our first iteration legs and final frame were constructed out of hardboard. Listed price is an estimate of material cost. | 10.00 |
| MDF | One of our first iteration legs were made out of MDF. Listed price is an estimate of material cost. | 3.00 |
| 5V 3A linear regulator | We used these linear regulators to provide power to our subsystems that required 5 volts to operate. Due to the current draw of our various systems, we needed 3 of them to power all of our systems. Listed price is an estimate of how much it would cost to buy it | 7.50 |
| Raspberry Pi | We used the Pi to interface with the audio subsystem. | 35.00 |
| Arduino | The Arduino controlled the low-level parts of our system + allowed the computer we used to interface with the motors. | 15.00 |
| TOTAL FOR ACQUIRED COMPONENTS: | 481.50 | |
