hmmmm

In many respects "being in way over your head" is exactly the point. The true spirit of FIRST is in setting that stretch goal. If you feel it in your blood, go for it. Don't take no for an answer. Find some support, register, find more support and keep going. For 6-7 K you can find a way to build a robot and attend one competition. This community is all about supporting just such an effort.

The whole thing reminds me of a favorite quote, "Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it."

Good luck.
