Field parts and proper competition table with overhead light.

That is what I've seen as the minimum to be able to keep everybody productive. With less than this, the team members don't have the supplies to keep occupied.(with something productive)

Most of these thing are reusable each year, so once you have a good setup the yearly cost is minimal.
What about the additional NXT kits is helpful? Is it just that you have more pieces to keep more hands busy, or are there specific components in the kit that are helpful?
