You have a budget and not as much time as you would like. You have mechanical, electrical, programing, marketing, etc. One of my favorite parts of FIRST is that it exposes high school students to so many things that are found in the workplace that they have a much better idea what they would like to pursue.

My current day job is doing just that. I am in the electrical field for automation machines at a small local shop.
At night I fight crime... oh wait you didn't see that...
Actually at night, I work and don't earn a paycheck.
Yah might know the company. It's new but has some great products.
