Don't feel like you have to do something huge. Despite insisting every year that we're going to keep it simple, we ALWAYS pick something complicated, and we ALWAYS get our butts kicked by rookie teams who have decided to go with a simple, sturdy design.
Also, to repeat the sage advice of others, wait until the game is revealed, and build your design around the game instead of around a neat idea. *Coughtranslationaldrivecough* Ahem.
You may want to consider setting up a time with you and your team, and any local veteran or rookie teams to discuss the game right after kick-off and get some ideas flowing. Plan to use just a couple of days for strategy so you don't get hung up there and can move on to building before...erm...the third week or so. (Not that that's ever happened on our team or anything...)
Anyway, good luck to you, and feel free to PM me after kickoff if you want to talk strategy then. I'll be glad to share with you what our team has been discussing. ^_^
