The first thing to do after opening the kit is (the team leaders) do an inventory to make sure everything is there. Then, group all the parts into motors, battery, control system / electronics, mechanical parts, tools, etc... For a rookie team especially, I think it is a good idea to mount all the control system parts on a board or something, and hook them up to a few different motors. That should get them thinking in the right mindset how a FIRST robot works.
