        Very good question. I think I might have $200 in materials in this.

        $30 Aluminum Channel
        $20 PVC Sheet
        $30 Stepper Motors
        $25 Galvanized Pipe
        $ 6 Leadscrews
        $15 Screws, washers
        $18 Trim router
        $15 Steel channel
        $30 Components for stepper controller

        Now, I had to buy some tools to make this happen too.

        $ 6 File
        $10 10-32 taps
        $10 4-40 taps
        $15 Drill bits

        I think I may have 20-30 hours of time in this thing.
