NEW TEAM- NEED ADVICE

Hey fellow FIRSTers,
so my school this year in New York is starting a brand new FIRST Robotics Team. We have everything we need as far as money and materials go, but we lack experience/skill/knowledge for and of robotics. So, I have prepared a few questions. I'd love ANY input at all

1) What about physics should we know the most for robotics? If you could link me to some guides/lessons explaining the physics for robots, that would be great.

2) We want to start practicing before January 7th, kick off. What is the best way to prepare and get ready? Should we build a drivetrain?

3) For programming, how can we prepare and get ready to program the remotes and sensors?

4) Do you have a link that describes the major components of a robot? ex. drivetrain, shaft, axles, etc. Maybe you could describe them?

yes, i am a noob, but i am eager to LEARN

Thanks!
