--I say have five tables: four standard and one large area for parts (or
just a huge heap of lego parts on the floor), and let the teams duke it out
for parts...just like Junkyard Wars! Of course, then you have a small
problem with fights breaking out over a 2x4 plate with holes...
just my $0.02, but I also see your point in giving teams the same parts
(i.e. time constraints--no 10 hour timeframe to build your mindstorms
creation)...
