Something that my team does is work to improve and make changes to last years robot. For example we used electronic actuators on our 2014 bot and so this year, in order to improve our pneumatics knowledge, we are switching out those electronic ones for pneumatic actuators. In your case you could also add sensors to your existing robot.

I also agree with bEdhEd when he says to just research online. Videos can be immensely helpful and so can old CD threads. Looking at robots built for past games could also be useful.

Best of luck to you and your team!!
