Try to keep in mind that, as you said, rookies have never built a robot before and they are going to have some wild and crazy ideas! But they should not be discouraged. Rookies are the fresh set of eyes, ears and ideas on every team! They will think of things that have never crossed the minds of your 3 year veterans. Instead of telling them, "That's stupid. It can't be done," Try explaining why it can't be done. Help them improve on their design. Implement some of your ideas in their design. Compromise, work together. Make sure everyone knows the rules of the game, before you start designing your robot! And, as Jay said, keep it simple! It is better to do one thing extremely well, all of the time, than to do everything 'OK' some of the time!
