When a young person sees battlebots and wants to get apart of it and then researches it and finds you either got have alot of money like your millionare (like alot of people on battelbots) or you gotta have a sponsor.
Actually you probably could build a robot for a couple hundred dollars if you are clever enough. Also now there are weight classes that can be built very cheaply.

I mean anyone can put on a saw or a hammer and have a smashing robot
Easier said than done. Not to mention saws are really poor weapons.
