i disagree vortex.... just because you dont have a lot of money doesnt mean that you cant build a competent FIRST robot
it is true that some teams spend incredible amounts of money on thier robots...... but many dont

i guess the thing i dont like about battle bots is that the competition is so one sided...... its destroy or be destroyed.. it seems like there is little strategy (at least compared to FIRST).... i mean, just go check out the discussion in one of the other threads about ball bots and goal bots, its long and passionate, and nobody can be wrong or right

a man from my town built a battlebot, clambot ......... and while they won the competition, it never got aired because it wasnt glamorous..... see that dissapoints me too, because comedy central just shows the robots that bring the ratings
