I guess you can say I have the fear of failure. I felt that I failed to do my part last year. The worse thing is that I was not nervous at all last year. (I was more exited about skipping school than the competition)

You've clearly never seen an angry drive team that just got taken out by flying controls caused by the robot autonomously ramming the player station
. Another year I screwed up some really basic adjustments to the autonomous code and caused the robot to shoot all of its scoring balls at a wall. Another timer the robot deployed a piston 'wing' out it's side then mauled the field barrier, wrecking the piston.
That piston incident was in 2003, the entire team signed it and it's still hanging in 263s workshop
Embrace it, you're going to make some of your most memorable mistakes at events, and even though it may not seem like it at the time, you'll learn something new from each one, and you'll just keep improving. Also, you have the benefit of experience this time around.
