We plan to have the electronics for it being built at the same time, essentially having a drivable base by the end of the 1st week. I've read a lot about teams having whole bases and drives completed by the 2nd week, but with the method we're thinking of, it seems like a viable option to have it done in the 1st week. Is there anything I'm not getting here?

What you're missing is that the kitbot comes pre-designed and is ready to go together (with modifications if you so choose). Teams reaching for a week 2 drivebase are usually designing from scratch, so it takes them a little longer.
