Another thing you might consider doing is looking at your own robots or you can take a random team's robot and analyze their design choices. You can learn a lot by reverse engineering/thinking their strategies, "good" or "bad" robot.

Another exercise might be to introduce a game (even a recent one) and ask "how do you think this robot did?" and brainstorm up a list of why they did or didn't do so well. You can follow their matches on The Blue Alliance, and then suggest different ways to improve their robot/strategy.
