I'm guessing:

a cRio
a digital sidecar, maybe 2
a power distribution panel
a battery
some spikes
maybe a jaguar or 4
a bunch of wire

And a partridge in a pear tree?? LOL

You seem to be missing your battery. Once you plug that in everything should be good though.

martin417, Did you guys order for early shipment or are you guys just eager for kick-off?

[martin417]

Yes, ordered for early shipment, awaiting delivery....

If you're looking to do a little more you can,
Download the newest versions of the paperwork
Read though the data sheets
Plug in some PWM cables.
Strip the ends of those power leads going into the Victors
Remove the Victors (the new benchtop test uses the Jags)
Put a couple of pieces of tape on the output shafts (so you can see direction of rotation)
tap fingers on the table a few more times.

Our team 2358 Lake Zurich is in the same boat.

Out of curiosity when did your team make payment?

[samir13k]

Our team got ours fairly fast... i know we applied for BETA testing, so i have a hunch that the teams that applied for BETA got theirs first. (Just a hunch)

Sorry to bust your bubble, but we also applied to be a Beta team. (Georgia Tech got the nod in our area, and rightly so, the Robojackets, and the teams they sponsor, have done a bang up job) and yet we haven't heard anything yet.

My impression was kits were shipped based on geographic distance from HQ. Closest got theirs in the first run, farther got theirs later.

Shouldn't it have been the opposite so that the teams would all receive their kits at roughly the same time?

That was my thought too, but the first teams to post about getting tracking #'s for their control system were from states neighboring NH.

Team 368 got their kit before Thanksgiving and we ours arrived in Hawaii (but could not pick up) on Black Friday via ground shipping.
I wonder if NASA grant teams had priority since we didnt even handle the shipping to us.

[NoahTheBoa]

We also got ours before Thanksgiving so I doubt it is based on geographic distance. I'd assume it's based on when payment was received or it's random...
