I agree. I mentored a high school First Robotics team. I've seen kids learn solidworks, programming, etc in a few weeks, and come up with some amazing ideas for the robots.
My first computer was a heathkit, H-8. still have the chassis. Cost over $2000 at the time, and a $30 rasberryPi is far more powerful.
I built alot of heathkit computers, store used to pay me to assemble computers, test equipment, etc. also built a few TVs
Still have various test equipment, and a Hero robot.
