Advice on getting a PRT96 Circa 2001 running

[jimfl014]

Hi, We (Hingham High School FRC robotics team) have been given most of a PRT 96, circa 2001. We need to find drivers, a control board and a spindle. The stepper motors that came with this are model A6497-9412KTG.


Do you have any suggestions on how we can get this running cost efficiently?

Ideally we would be cutting aluminum and polycarbonate.
