I've found that when the team gets their first ideas for a robot, there are serveral ideas that everybody seems to think could work. If you have multiple NXT kits, you can give each kit to a group of students to build a first draft of their design. Once they're all built the team can discuss the designs, and vote on a final design.
After "the" design is decided upon, the second robot can be used to help teach new programmers, or even to begin working on some of the programs before the final robot is finished.
