You should start building now
I don't think you are foolhardy to be building by now. In the past we didn't start until about week 3 and got little practice time in plus we ended up staying late(after 9:00 P.M. every night) for the last 3 weeks. This year our bot is half done right now and we should be fully operational in about another 1.5 weeks so we can practice, crash it, rebuild it. This year we have 3 teams in the same building area so a scrimage will be really fun. This is a luxury we have never had in the past, but you can't have it unless you are building in the first weeks. At the minimum you should have a prototype by now in my mind. If the engineers I work with stay too many nights late, thier spouses will put an end to it or they can stay even later because they won't have a spouse anymore.!
I am really excited about this year!
