Electra Costed

The official antweigh rules are here but basically an anweight robot should be no more that 150g and fit inside a four inch cube.

Here's a list of my components with an idea of price and weight. Note, some of these figures are guesses. The prices are for whole packs e.g I may buy 100 bolts but only use three.
