Seriously, Rick, IndySam, Al Skierkiewicz, (I spelled that from memory, did I get it right?), EricH and many others on this thread have done this thing called FIRST for a very long time. (13 years for me). There is some VERY GOOD advice stated here. Follow it.

If there is one thing that I want to emphasize and that is RTFM, cover to cover and back again. Many of the question you may have during build season and many tips on building a successful robot can and will be found in the Manual. Start now with the Administrative Manual just released.

Rookies--RTFM = Read The FIRST Manual.
