Budget

1 x DragonBoard 410c : $75 (We have sponsorship from Qualcomm for 3 of these tho)
1 x Base Tester Webcam: $30 (We might have one lying around tho)
Simple 2WD Chassis bot + Breadboard: $40 (Or reuse parts from Beginner workshop)

Motors (Continuous Servo or DC): $30 each
- upgrade to 4WD/Omni-directional requires ~4; Total: $120
Wheels: $20 each; Total: $80
Battery pack: $30 - $40
Robot Chassis Materials: $100
Sensors; Total: 15+6+60 ~= $90
- Distance sensor: $15 (AdaFruit)
- Luminosity sensor: $6
- IR Beacons: $30 each (need two to detect each other); Total: $60
Misc Screws and Bolts: $20 (go to Hardware store)
Random Shipping costs: $10 per shipment; ~$50
ROUGH PROJECTED HARDWARE BUDGET: $120 + $80 + $40 + $100 + $90 + $20 + $50 = $500

The following lists estimated cost on AWS after free tier expiration:

Could Server: 0.0059$ per hour
Data Transfer: 0.09$ per GB (If we stream the video at 4142.52247kb/s for 720 hours we'll end up with 10TB data transfer. As long as we don't use more than 10TB per month, the price is still 0.09$ per GB.)

Could Server: 34$ per year without extra data transfer fee (cheaper than above if the server needs to keep running in the whole year.)
