I received a free computer from our district's robot engineering program. I'm suspicious of its trustworthiness. Is there any way to untap it, or should I just give it up?

Probably the easiest thing for you to do is to install a firewall where you are notified and have to approve every outbound connection. That will tell you what is on there and what to target.

Of course, you could just take a scorched earth approach: Nuke the hard drive, install OS of your choice, software of your choice, and never worry about it again.
