The 5k just includes total parts that are on the robot at any one time. Some teams have extra budget for prototyping materials, spare mechanisms, and upgrades for their robots. Many teams iterate their robot throughout the season for example they might add a revised intake every regional if they aren't happy with the performance.
Also doesn't include anything under $5 I believe? This makes things like just about anything harware not included in the final price, but still needs to be included in the team's budget for the robot.
kinda dumb question, but if your budget is 10k, isn't that above what the game manual says. Cause the manual for powerup was 5500 I think.
