As another member of the team I figured it'd be worth coming out from lurking around to say that this is a very huge issue this year for our team. Just today I was talking to another member of our team, who is normally incredibly motivated and productive, and he said if it kept up there wasn't much of a point even coming to team meetings anymore, since we simply aren't getting anywhere.

Me and him were thinking about simply writing out everything we felt needed to be changed around the team to bring productivity back up and get build season back on track, and have every member that agrees sign it, because at this rate we will only have a semi-functional robot to show for our efforts. Almost every single veteran on our team agrees that this year has simple gone awry so far, so that wouldn't be a half bad way to go about things.

Ultimately, this is a giant issue for our team this year, and I can reasonably assume that other teams may be having some similar issues as well, so maybe other teams can pick up some of the advice people have giving thus far and apply it to their teams.
