Buy an Axon, Axon II, or Axon Mote and build a great robot, while helping to support SoR.

This could be fully autonomous or fully controlled or a combo of the two.
Consider this... Which is more interesting, the builders skills in driving R/C vehicles or their skills in making clever autonomous robots?
Being more into con- than destruction, I don't really care for this kind of competitions, but you might wanna consider popping a "standard sized" baloon instead of a skeet, as this will lower the build price (since it doesn't take much force) and will still be a highly visible marker - just rule out LASERs for distance popping
I am in southern Indiana by the way.
Interesting yes, practical for youngsters? not really. I suggest doing what FIRST robotics does. Most yearly competitions start off with a 30-60 second 'autonomous' round, followed by the longer R/C round. More points can be gained in the autonomous round, but it's not a requirement to do it, just incentive.
We did FIRST this year and did halfway decent for the first year that any of us
