Hopefully they have the kit bot available. Get this built and get them driving. Explain to them how much the kit bot can contribute to game this year.

Next, show them the MCC from West Coast Product and suggest they improve what they can contribute to an alliance by working on one or more features of this robot. Best option is to help them to be able to move the ball through the low barrier and score in the low goal of the tower.

Getting them a running robot and a way to score points is a HUGE benefit to a team like you described.
