Budget

[Here are some notes from the 12/8/2010 meeting. This should be integrated into the budget spreadsheet(s) / bill(s) of material.]

• plexiglass sheets
• high-density foam (used for insulation)
• zip ties

  • clean gravel

Batteries (per vehicle):

• Secondary pool

Here's a draft budget for the TURBO vehicles based on Tim McNerney's e-mail of 12/8/2010. [This can morph into a real Bill of Materials with catalog numbers etc. for purchasing and assembly.]
