Something else I have seen teams do, which we plan to do in the future, is use one of the many model competitions found on chief delphi. This is the closest thing I have seen to build season. However, this is also very time-intensive.
I could offer more suggestions if you tell us what your team has done, because I could ramble on and on about pre-season trainings.

Thank you guys for offering help! So far this pre-season we have built 6"x6"x6" boxes, learned basic electronics, basic CAD (made trains), and everyone worked/is working on a box bot with a turret (CAD is still designing the turret). I'm gunna push for a T-shirt cannon (I've wanted one for a while). We also have our systems engineering team working on a mock game and a modular drive station. It would seem like we got enough projects but we have a massive team (over 50 members) and so we are often left with people who have nothing to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
