Budget-Bots is exactly what the name implies: cheap robotics! :) We live in an era of affordable open source technology that has somehow not transferred over to the high school level. Most robotics events cost thousands of dollars to participate in, but we have an entry cost of only $75. This will be challenging, as you will need to learn C to program Ardunio boards, some 3D modeling, and  a variety of other basic technical skills, but it is entirely doable for someone with no experience!
