One of the best thought out robots I have seen was from a team like Tim's in the Rio Grande Valley. They had only enough money to pay for the registration for one Regional and had to cannibalize the previous year's robot. Their teacher/coach said that they filled notebooks with sketches before cutting any metal because they could not afford to waste any.
