I feel your frustration, the same thing happens on my team from time to time but you just have to lead by example. Can you explain more about what is happening? Where are your mentors when this is happening and have you talked to them about what is happening and how you find it very frustrating?

For tasks to give them I would say if you have a basic drive chassis give them that and then have them add sensors to it and do certain tasks. Ex: With a gyro make a corrective drive system where when the robot is bumped it goes back to where it was.

PS: The corrective gryo can be quite difficult to program depending on your programmers experience
