Wherever you are going and whenever you are going there, building one of these isn't something you just sit down and do overnight.
Borrow one from someone/somewhere, or buy an inexpensive used one from eBay. Either of those will be far easier than building one from scratch.

PS: Which national competition are you headed to? TSA, BEST, The Create Foundation's tournament? something for PLTW? something else?
