Micromouse projects can be expensive (US$1000 and more), although they can also be quite inexpensive (between US$200 to US$250). The actual expense depends on your design philosophy and expertise. More expertise tend to lower the cost because materials and tools are better utilized.

A typical project will cost about $200 to $500 if tools and materials are not readily available. A team must have all members agreeing to a budget before starting on a project. Otherwise, if a team runs out of budget in the middle of a project and have members disagree on how to proceed, it can potentially kill the project and turn members against each other.
