I have participated in the Oklahoma build day every year since it was started by team 476 in '08.
It has certainly helped the Oklahoma regional tremendously in keeping teams involved,
and competing every year by guaranteeing that every team has a driving platform by the end of kick-off day.

If you already have the instruction information from the OK staff, then
I'm sure you already know more about the workings of "Kitbot day" than I can help you with.

But, for the sake of common knowledge I'll share a bit about how it is run.

Each aspect of the robot is broken down into small sub-groups (electronics, chassis, programming, and gearbox).
Each sub-group has it's own work area, the chassis is worked on in the main kick-off room, while
each of the smaller sub-components are worked on in a classroom or meeting room to prevent over crowded workspace.

Each sub-team is responsible for the following areas:

Gearbox: Assembling the Andymark gearbox.

Chassis: Putting the chassis parts together including the frame, wheels, assembled gearboxes, and chains.

Electrical: Mounting all electronic components to the electrical board, and wiring
everything together so all they have to is hook up the motors and a battery and drive the thing.

Programming: In order for the rookie programmers to be able to get everything running today, they need
to be able to pick up their classmate and C-rio the night before kick-off and download all necessary software.
Then during the "kitbot day" they can put together a basic drive program.

I'd say the most important parts of running a "kitbot day" is makeing sure you have ample room for each of the
sub-teams to work, and having enough staff for each sub-group so the rookies can receive help when needed.
That ways you don't have one person trying to help 8 different teams build a toughbox or strip a wire.
