Proposed Budget

A.         Equipment

Item Requested	Specifications	Quantity	Unit Cost	Amount
20 Mil Copper Strip 0.75 X 100’	100 ft, 20mm, 0.75”	4	129.99	519.96
Current Collector	60A, Single Arm	4	7.50	30.00
Shipping				80.00

Total $629.96

1. The copper strip will be lined alongside the track in pairs as a 4^th rail design. The estimated length required is approximately 280 ft. according to the current half-scale model.

2. The current collector is a single arm attachment that will be able to transfer the necessary power requirements to the bogie. This is of high priority to continue designing an appropriate integration onto the chassis.
