Alicia we found out as a team that on the day of KickOff, to first, as a group, come up with the main objectives that you want to accomplish with the robot. Afterwards, you can split the students up into smaller group (probably 4 to 6 students works the best) to brainstorm how to accomplish those goals. You have the students vote on the 2 or 3 best ideas and start protoyping those right away.
I know this is how our team functions but Im sure there are many more ideas!
Good luck!
