I personally plan to learn more C programming, work on a new drive for next year, work on something possibly showing different applications of pneumatics and possible thought for next year, and maybe research and test new materials to try and use next year.

Build a prototype and when it comes down to the 6 weeks rebuild using the prototype as as a blueprint. And the same thing with the computer code. write a code with last years robot and modify that code for next years robot. That is simply using research and development.
