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.

One place to look is the regular robot clubs. Like: (...) (22 years ago, 3-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)
