Like powers said, you dont need a lot of money to make an awesome robot - we got 1st in UCF with a robot that came out to be about $1200 total (TOTALLY not a lot in comparison to some of the other teams whose robots prices are in the 5 digits!). What isnt right is the fact that FIRST robotics competitions are no longer about the kids learning team work, engineering, etc.. it became a competition of the companies which isnt just to those schools that arent supported. Also, many teams that complain about not having money have sponsors.. my team (212) doesnt have ANY sponsors OR money.. our robot is built and paid for by the students!
