The cost of this robot is likely to be higher than appropriate for the NZPRG, so [I'm|Murray] also designing several other lower-cost [robot prototypes].
The cost of this robot is likely too high to be considered as a prototype for the NZPRG (though it'd be possible to reduce costs, see below), so [I'm|Murray] also designing several other lower-cost [robot prototypes].

! Minimal Option
The KR04 has a lot of features, and therefore costs. The current expenditures, which includes sensors, components and hardware that may possibly not even get used (hey! it's an ''experiment''), is probably nearing NZ$1000.
If you wanted to get started on a lower budget you could begin with the basic OSEPP Tank Kit, some kind of [robot controller] (an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, whatever), a [motor controller] (RobotShop has some dual motor controllers starting under US$5, with many on the [market|Vendors]), and power the robot using a commonly-available USB battery. With a mechanical bumper made from lever switches it'd be possible to build this for under NZ$200.
Here's a start for around NZ$170:
* [OSEPP Tank Kit|https://www.robotshop.com/en/tank-robot-platform-kit.html] : US$100 (RobotShop)
* [Raspberry Pi Zero W|https://www.adafruit.com/product/3400] : US$10, AdaFruit
* [Maker Drive H-Bridge Motor Driver for Beginner| https://www.robotshop.com/en/maker-drive-h-bridge-motor-driver-beginner.html] : US$3.73 (RobotShop)
...you'd still need to add a battery, some sensors and miscellaneous parts. And of course, don't forget to include shipping costs in your budget!
