Having the kit of parts early is a great idea. It gives new members a great oppurtunity to learn what each part does. I know when I was a new member last year I saw the kit and didn't have the first clue what the motors, speed controllers, pneumatics, etc. did. And at that point there wasn't a whole lot of time for me to learn what each thing did. I ended up learning by being an observer. New members would be greater asset if they understand how everthing works. It also lets the team experiment in basic designs for arms, lift systems, drive trains.
But here's another idea. Why not just extend the six weeks to say, 8 weeks. Or even 10.
