This is also a great opportunity to set some of your own precedents! Think of some of your team's weak points (a dirty lab, perhaps?) and really push people to change that.

I would recommend that you put something in writing - what are your goals for this year? - so you have something concrete to follow. It can incorporate a lot of ideas from your teammates, as well.

Bone up on your knowledge. For example, get to know some of the winning designs of past years, explore McMaster-Carr's website and design a west coast drivetrain. The more you know, the better you can lead the team.

And ultimately remember that the robot does not rest on your shoulders. Your job is to help everyone stay on task, work to a goal, and come together at the end; you're a project manager more than a head engineer. Good luck!
