Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a "forbidden materials" list, an exotic materials list essentially. For example, you're not allowed to build your robot out of diamond dust, no matter how much you would like to.
Also, you have a limited budget for purchases for the robot and this would eat up a lot of that.
From what I've seen from our team (and that's just one team... duh) thousands of extra dollars are most helpful because you can go to several regionals and still attend the big smash in 'lanta. This gives you more chances to qualify for local awards which gives you more chances to get sent to 'lanta.
Anyway.
