It's a little of both.  (prize & prestige)  When you go to a contest
sponsored by a robot club, they often give out "real robot" prizes.  (stuff
WE can't usually use)

But at the last line following event in Chicago, I won a Digital Multi-meter
and a trophy made from a couple old hard drives, a few circuit board
stand-offs, a couple heat-sinks, some ceramic resistors, and a circuit board
with "1st Place" etched on it.  The whole thing was VERY cool.  For a pile
of junk!

Currently, this: http://www.workshop3d.com/rcx/ is still the best one
around.  They have good prizes, tough competition, and no entry fee.
