Does your team open the kit right away or do you learn the game first?

When do you think the kit should be opened and why?

Our advisor doesn't let us open it until he is sure we fully understand the game which is usually not until the evening of the kickoff. Is this fair? I would like to open it right away to see what cool stuff we get. I like to know what we have to work with. Last year, I was designing coaxial crab systems and venturis before lunch on Kickoff day. You wait a whole year, and then you have the kit, but have to wait another day? C'mon.
