From early in the project, staying well under budget was a high priority of Team G6. Not only did saving money offer the chance of bonus points, but it also gave the team more financial leeway should problems arise. Notably, budgeting helped when the first servo motor, the Fitec, stripped a gear. We could afford to buy a new Futaba and replacement gears. Also, when one of the Vex motors broke two days before the final competition, we had enough money to quickly buy a new one.
The final budget can be found below:
To further break down the budget, it was analyzed by function of purpose (Category Analysis) and by date and order (Chronological Analysis: Data and Graph)
