Re: prototypes
On my former team we would start by reading the rules then move onto what we wanted to do. From that point on the same day we would start prototyping different ideas, we would finish at about the 2 week mark, (Keep in mind that the chassis was being CAD'ed during the 2 week)
The team I'm currently on, we spent the first week pouring over the rules thoroughly, and the team decided on the kind of mechanism we wanted wanted to prototype at the start of week two,
Personally I believe a mixture of the two would pan out the best. Spend the first (and maybe second?) day thoroughly reading the rules, then prototype for the next week or two. Hope this helps.
