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?

If they have theft deterence turned on, baked into the hardware, then the first time you connect to the internet with an unrecognized configuration, it's going to phone home and report itself as stolen.

so you need to check into this.
