I recognize that I don't know all the details of your team's situation and that it's a bit late for this year, but it seems like students on your team could work on some of these tasks on their own time during the preseason.

Do you have established systems for team communication? We meet throughout the year, but even so, my students do a lot of work outside our meeting times, largely because we only meet about 4 hours a week during the offseason, and 9-12 hours a week during build season. Could your programming team look up how to install C++ now and do it before the season starts? Maybe go through some tutorials over break? Award info is already posted - maybe marketing team could look over it now so they're not rushing.
