This is a "your mileage may vary" conversation. The 2 teams that won the 2012 world championship, 357 and 4997, built their robots on a much smaller budgets.
One of the teams at the world championship representing New Mexico only used the Kit...and in fact used every single Tetrix and LEGO part offered in the kit, except one piece of aluminum. That piece was displayed in their pit, on a pillow, with a light shining on it.
