Questions for Workshop88 competition

Does the cost refer just to the payload or payload + balloon and recovery equipment? When does the 45 minute clock start? What about items that are donated, loaned or found counting towards cost? Is there a prize? Can we make a donation of an item or cost as part of the pot?
