Something we have finally learned is to start building THIS week. Use rapid prototyping materials like foamcore, PVC, wood, and definately 80/20 or BOSCH rail and get something this week working. Six weeks will come soooo fast and your school work only cuts into that more. The first 2 years we spent too much time designing and slacking in the first weeks only to be up against the clock in the final hours with little or no testing, its not the right way to do this thing. Build a 'robust' robot, counterbalance heavy loads and drive it hard in practice
Great Luck to you
