Define what you mean by "assembling" electronics. If you mean just wiring the roborio, motor controllers, pcm, vrm, and pdp together and putting it all on a board of some sort, that can be done within 30 minutes by an experienced crew (2-3 people). Doing this after you know the game and the basic design of the practice bot gives the added benefit of arranging stuff in a way that will fit well into the bot.
