The Cost?
Looks like about $350.00 MINIMUM if you already happen to have all the right connectors and plugs and resistors and other miscellaneous hardware. PLUS maybe another $6.00 per beacon.
ServerBot Parts:

iRobot Create = $130
iRobot Create + APS Battery + Docking Station = $260
Supplier: Parallax
Parallax Propeller ProtoBoard = $25
HM55B Compass = $30
Supplier: Acroname
SRF02 Sonars = $23 each (optional, but I recommend at least one)
SP03 Text-to-Speech Synthesizer = $108 (optional)
Supplier: Maxstream
XBee 2.4Ghz transceiver = $20 (optional)
Supplier: Home Depot
Body - 10" Concrete Form = less then $10
Beacon Parts: (optional, but recommended)
Microchip PIC16F690 = $1.85
